VfL Bochum

[edit | edit source]

On 15 August 2022, Mousset signed a two-year contract with VfL Bochum in Germany.[12] In January 2023, Mousset was suspended from the team due to disciplinary issues including a "lack of motivation, unpunctuality and unprofessionalism",[13][14][15] with Bochum sporting director Patrick Fabian stating: "We kept giving him a chance, now there's no point. It's pretty disappointing because we naturally had a lot of hopes from him in terms of sport. At some point, however, the time has come when we have to protect the group as a whole."[16] He was loaned out to Ligue 2 club Nîmes on 31 January 2023.[17] He suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in May 2023 with Nîmes.[16] On 9 January 2024, Mousset's contract with Bochum was terminated by mutual consent, without having played a game for the club.[18]

We tried everything with him. All the staff did. But he picked up niggles and things like that which slowed it down all the time. One thing is for sure, if he wants to play football, he needs to get fit."[23][24][25]
