Red Bull Salzburg

On 6 July 2018, Red Bull Salzburg announced that they had signed Köhn from Leipzig, their unofficial sister club, on a four-year contract. Since Liefering is Salzburg's feeder team, he is eligible to play for both clubs as a cooperation player.[7] During the 2019/2020 pre-season friendly, Köhn played in a football match between Salzburg and Chelsea in the Red Bull Arena, replacing Cican Stankovic at half time. He conceded two goals from Pedro and Batshuayi as the match ended in a 5–3 loss.[8][9] He is yet to make his first team debut for Red Bull Salzburg, but has featured for Liefering twelve times.[10]

Wil

On 29 July 2020 he went to Swiss side Wil on loan.[11][12] After 33 matches he went back to Salzburg.

International career

Köhn has represented Germany from under-15 to under-18 age group, before switching his allegiance to Switzerland. He has been playing for Switzerland from under-19. He currently plays for the Switzerland under-21,[13] and was named to Switzerland's 2022 World Cup squad.
