Player Profile
In spring 2008 Hannover 96 completed the signing of the talented defender from Türkiyemspor Berlin, after he had turned down offers from Hertha BSC and Werder Bremen.
2007/2008 was the German-Nigerian's first season in the senior team at Türkiyemspor Berlin and he quickly became one of the NOFV-Oberliga's best players. Before leaving Berlin, Balogun helped his side to promotion to the Regionalliga, where they will meet 96's reserves.
We wish Leon all the best for his first Bundesliga season!
