Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Varel, Undav took a long route to the top. His early clubs included TSV Achim, Werder Bremen, SC Weyhe and TSV Havelse. He trained as a machine operator and worked in a factory while playing amateur football, before his career took him through Eintracht Braunschweig and SV Meppen.
The Belgian breakthrough.
He joined Union Saint-Gilloise ahead of the 2020/21 season and helped them win promotion. In 2021/22 he scored 26 league goals and was voted Player of the Year by his fellow professionals. Brighton signed him in January 2022 and loaned him back to Union for the rest of that season.
Finding a home in Stuttgart.
A loan move brought him to Stuttgart in August 2023, followed by a permanent transfer in August 2024. He made his Germany debut against France on 23 March 2024, scored in Stuttgart’s 2025 DFB Cup final win, and became club captain for 2026/27. In June 2026 he agreed a contract through 2029, with an option for another season.
Keeping fans close.
On Instagram, Undav shares goals, celebrations with teammates and occasional family moments. His club interviews give fans another view of him: a forward who credits the team around him and speaks warmly about the city where his family has settled.
