Who is Tom Bischof?
Tom Bischof is a left-footed German midfielder and full-back from Aschaffenburg who came through the Hoffenheim academy, became the club’s youngest-ever senior player at 16 and joined Bayern Munich in 2025. He was part of the squad that won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal in 2025-26 and this season scored his first Germany goal.
Age, club and role
He was born on 28 June 2005, so he is 21 as of 11 November 2026. He plays for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, wears number 8 and is under contract until June 2029 according to both Wikipedia and FotMob. His Hoffenheim deal expired and Bayern reportedly paid a low six-figure fee to secure him before the Club World Cup. He missed the second leg against Real Madrid in 2026 with a muscle tear; we found no current injury report.
He is listed as a midfielder or full-back, which makes him a flexible profile who can run the half-space from midfield or defend the left side. No tracking data are public, so the role reading is from listings. His first professional goal, on 23 November 2024, was a free kick in Hoffenheim’s 4-3 win over RB Leipzig.
This season’s numbers against last
So far this season, per Wikipedia as of 7 November 2026, Bischof has 15 Bayern appearances and one goal: 8 in the Bundesliga without a goal, two in the DFB-Pokal with one goal, four in the Champions League and one in the Supercup. FotMob lists 8 Bundesliga appearances, 2 starts, 261 minutes, no goals, 2 assists and a 6.81 rating, though its own match log shows fewer minutes, so we treat the minute count as uncertain. Earlier snapshots from other sites show four to six appearances, also with two assists.
Last season he played 26 Bundesliga games with three goals, one DFB-Pokal game, 10 Champions League games and one Supercup game. A verified assist total for 2025-26 is not available, so a like-for-like comparison is not possible, though this year he has clearly had fewer starts.

Career path and Germany
He made his Hoffenheim debut on 19 March 2022 against Hertha BSC aged 16 years and 264 days. Bayern agreed a deal on 21 January 2025, a four-year contract. His first Bayern appearance was at the Club World Cup against Benfica on 24 June 2025; his Bundesliga debut was the 5-0 win over HSV on 13 September 2025 and his Champions League debut the 3-1 win over Chelsea four days later. He made his first Bayern start on 26 September in a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen, assisting Konrad Laimer, and played the second half of the 4 November win over PSG after a red card.
He has played for Germany from U16 to U20 and U21 since 2025. His senior debut came in the June 2025 Nations League Finals against France; on 1 October 2026 he scored his first goal in a 2-0 win over Serbia, set up by Florian Wirtz. He has three caps and one goal. He has won the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and two Supercups with Bayern.
What kind of player is he?
The references we can document are small but consistent: a free-kick goal against Leipzig, an assist to Laimer on his first Bayern start, a goal for Germany from a Wirtz pass. They point to a technically clean left-footer who can find runners and arrive late in the box, but three caps and a handful of Bayern starts do not make a style profile. His two assists in short minutes this season say the output has been efficient even without volume.
Strengths and areas to improve
- Role flexibility: midfield and left-back.
- Left-foot quality: free-kick goal in his first professional goal.
- Big-match exposure: Champions League games against Chelsea and PSG.
- Growth area: Bayern minutes; two Bundesliga starts in eight appearances this season.
- Data gap: no verified season-by-season assist or advanced numbers.

Could he suit a Turkish Süper Lig side?
A Süper Lig transfer is not financially realistic today. He is under contract to 2029 at the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal champions and his valuation is well beyond any Anatolian club, so we name none. A left-footed midfielder who can also play left-back would be an interesting tactical profile in theory, but that is a possible fit, not a confirmed talk.

GegenSports view
The data show a 21-year-old with two trophies, a Germany goal and a flexible left-footed profile who is in a rotation role this season. The current performance profile justifies tracking, with minutes and advanced data the open questions. This piece rests on public numbers and no transfer claim.
