Sohm spent his entire youth career with FC Zürich, playing with the U16s and U18s before being promoted to the senior squad.

On 2 July 2018, Sohm signed a professional contract with the club. He made his league debut for the club on 28 October 2018 in a 3–2 away loss to St. Gallen. He was subbed on for Adrian Winter in the 91st minute. Sohm maintained a quiet 2018–19 season, making a total of six first-team appearances before breaking into the first team the following year. During his breakout campaign, Sohm emerged as a shrewd distributor and chance creator from the defensive midfield, making over 30 league appearances in a season for the first time in his career.

On 4 October 2020, he signed a five-year contract with Italian club Parma. Sohm's introduction to the team was difficult, with COVID-19 restrictions, his relative youth, and the language barrier impacting his ability to settle with his new club. He enjoyed a brief run in the first team early in the 2020–21 season, but fell out of favor as the team's relegation struggle developed. Following Parma's relegation to Serie B, Sohm settled into the first team, making 15 starts and 28 total league appearances during the following year. In January 2024, Sohm signed a new three-year deal with the club, extending his contract through June 2027.




International career


Born to a Swiss father and a Nigerian mother, Sohm elected to represent his birth country of Switzerland in international competition. Sohm was included in the Switzerland squad for the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He played all three games of the group stage, against England, Italy, and Israel.
He made his national team debut on 7 October 2020 in a friendly against Croatia.




Personal life


Sohm was born in Zürich, Switzerland and is of Nigerian Yoruba descent.
