Deniz Undav, known for his impressive goal-scoring abilities with Stuttgart this season, has earned his first call-up to the German national team. He will join the team for their upcoming friendly matches against France and the Netherlands.
Undav is eager to make his debut, whether it’s against Kylian Mbappé’s France or the Netherlands. The forward is focused on giving his best in these test games and hopes for positive outcomes. If he performs well, there’s a chance he could secure a spot in Germany’s squad for the European Championship this summer, which Germany is hosting.
Germany’s coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has made six new call-ups, aiming to revitalize the team’s performance.
Undav’s style of play has impressed his teammates, with Niclas Füllkrug praising his movement on the field and his ability to find the right passes.
Despite his recent rise to prominence, Undav remains grounded and committed to contributing to the team’s success, whether he starts or comes off the bench. Undav has 15 goals in 25 games this season for Stuttgart, where he’s on loan from Brighton.
His journey to the top leagues has been swift, starting from the fourth tier in Germany to now playing in the Bundesliga. Despite having the option to play for Turkey, Undav has always wanted to represent Germany, where he grew up and feels a strong connection. He emphasizes his commitment to the team and is ready to give his all, whether he’s a starter or a substitute.
