Deniz Undav

Deniz Undav

Deniz Undav attacks space and times runs by dropping into pockets of space between the lines to pull defences apart. He presses high to win the ball. Deniz Undav rose at Union Saint-Gilloise, earning the Belgian Professional Footballer of the Year in 2021/22. He moved to Brighton in 2022, scoring five goals late in the season. Deniz Undav earned his Germany debut in 2024 and then Stuttgart secured his services after a 2023/24 breakthrough with 18 Bundesliga goals. Undav often operates as a shadow striker, linking play with precise through-balls. His stocky build helps hold up the ball and shield possession in the final third. In Stuttgart's attack, Undav finishes moves and gets shots off quickly.
