Belgium-born Ghanaian defender Ibrahim Digberekou has completed a season-long loan move to Belgian Challenger Pro League outfit KSC Lokeren from Bundesliga side Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The 20-year-old centre-back, who can also feature at right-back, joins Lokeren in search of regular first-team football to aid his development as one of Europe’s rising defensive prospects.
The loan deal will run until the end of the 2025/26 campaign.
Digberekou extended his contract with Borussia Monchengladbach earlier this summer before being allowed to make the temporary switch, a move that reflects the German club’s long-term faith in his potential.
The young defender has been highly rated within Gladbach’s youth system, where he gained valuable experience and represented Belgium at U19 level.
Lokeren confirmed his arrival in an official statement, describing him as a player whose height, physical strength, and composure on the ball will bring much-needed stability and competitiveness to their backline.
Despite representing Belgium at youth level, Digberekou remains eligible to play for Ghana at the senior international stage due to his heritage.
His move to Belgium’s second tier will now provide the perfect platform to showcase his talent and potentially attract the attention of Ghana’s national team handlers.
The highly-rated youngster will be looking to make an immediate impact as Lokeren aim to push for promotion in the ongoing campaign.
