He was born in Dinslaken, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany to a German father and a Swiss mother from Lausanne.
On 23 February 2017, the then Leipzig sporting director, Ralf Rangnick announced that Köhn will sign with the club as soon as his Stuttgart contract expires in the summer. On 4 June 2017, Köhn signed a four year deal that will keep him at the German club till June 2021. He didn't make any appearance for the club.[4][5][6]
On 6 July 2018, Red Bull Salzburg announced that they have signed Köhn from Leipzig, their unofficial sister club on a four-year contract that will keep him at the club till 31 May 2022. 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's still yet to make his first team debut for Red Bull Salzburg, but has featured for Liefering 12 times.[10]
On 29 July 2020 he went to Swiss side Wil on loan.[11][12] After 33 matches he went back to Salzburg.
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]
