Cedric Itten, born on 27 December 1996 (age 29), is an imposing Swiss striker who now plays for Werder Bremen, wearing number 26. At 6ft 3in (1.90m), he has the frame for the role, though his career has been more solid professional work than anything requiring brass bands.
His strongest league season came with St. Gallen in 2019-20, when he scored 19 goals in 34 appearances. That remains the cleanest marker of his attacking output, and the season most likely to be reached for when assessing what he can offer through the middle.
In 2026-27, Itten has made five Bundesliga appearances for Werder Bremen. He has also remained involved with Switzerland, making three World Cup appearances, one in World Cup qualifying in Europe, and one in the Nations League this season. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Itten’s career has taken him from Swiss football to the Bundesliga, with international involvement alongside it. He is an established centre-forward rather than a headline act, and his best spell remains that productive St. Gallen season.
