Deniz Undav, born on 19 July 1996 (age 29), is a German striker with Stuttgart, where he wears squad number 26. His current market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt.
His career was not built on the usual polished academy route. The spell that pushed him forward came at Union Saint-Gilloise, where his 2021 - 2022 league season brought 25 goals in 33 appearances. That was the campaign that changed his level of attention, rather than merely padding a record in a kinder league.
Undav later moved into the Bundesliga picture with Stuttgart, initially making his case through goals rather than noise. In 2025 - 2026 he has remained a regular first-team presence, with 29 Bundesliga appearances and 19 league goals. Across all competitions for Stuttgart this season, he has made 40 appearances and scored 22 goals, including three in 10 Europa League games.
He has also been involved with Germany this season, making one World Cup appearance and scoring once. His profile is now straightforward enough: a striker who developed later than some, found his rhythm at Union Saint-Gilloise, and has become a reliable attacking presence for Stuttgart.
