André Schürrle (born 6 November 1990) is a German footballer, who plays as a forward and winger for Premier League club Chelsea and the German national team. A full international since 2010, he was a member of the German squad at UEFA Euro 2012.

Early life

Schürrle was born in Ludwigshafen, Rhineland-Palatinate to Luise[3] and Joachim Schürrle.[4] Growing up in Ludwigshafen, Schurrle joined local club Ludwigshafener SC at the age of 5, where his skills began to blossom.

Club career

Early career

Schürrle started his career at local club Ludwigshafener SC, before joining 1. FSV Mainz 05 in 2006. He spent three years playing for the club's youth teams, where he won the Under 19 Bundesliga in 2009.

1. FSV Mainz 05

In August 2009, Schürrle made his Bundesliga debut in a 2–2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on the opening day of the 2009–10 season.[5] The following month, on 19 September 2009, Schürrle scored his first two league goals in a 3–2 away win against VfL Bochum before signing a professional contract with the club later in the week.[6] He finished his debut Bundesliga season, missing just one match, scoring five goals and making three assists, as Mainz finished ninth.

In September 2010, Mainz announced that Schürrle had signed a five-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen, and would join the club at the end of the 2010–11 season. The transfer fee agreed between the two clubs was believed to be in the region of €8 million.[5] He finished a brilliant second season with Mainz, scoring 15 Bundesliga goals in 34 Bundesliga matches, a club record, surpassing the previous record held by Mohamed Zidan, who scored 14 goals in the 2006–07 season. Also, helping Mainz to finish fifth in the league and qualify for the UEFA Europa League.

Bayer Leverkusen

Schürrle completed his £6.5 million move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2011,[7] signing a five-year contract with the club until the summer of 2016.[8] He scored on his debut in a German Cup tie against SG Dynamo Dresden. He had to wait until 15 October 2011 to open his Bundesliga account for Bayer Leverkusen, when he netted a late equalizer against Borussia Mönchengladbach, rescuing his side a point as the match finished 2–2.[9] Schürrle registered his first European goal in the Champions League in a home win over Valencia CF four days later.[10] He finished the 2011–12 season, only scoring six league goals, with pundits citing the primary reason for his inconsistency because he was being played out wide, rather than playing mainly as a forward as he did for Mainz.

On 26 September, Schürrle scored his first goal of the season against Augsburg in a 3–1 win.[11] In the fixture against Bayern Munich on 28 October 2012, Schürrle provided an assist for Stefan Kießling in a 2–1 win at the Allianz Arena. This gave Bayern their first loss of the season in the Bundesliga and gave Bayer Leverkusen their first victory in Munich since October 1989.[12] On 30 March 2013, Schürrle scored twice in the match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, in a 4–1 win.[13] On 20 April 2013, Schürrle scored a brace and made an assist as they thumped Hoffenheim 5–0 at home.[14] Schürrle finished the 2012–13 campaign, scoring 14 goals and contributing nine assists.[15]

On 18 April 2013, it was confirmed that Bayer Leverkusen's director of sport Rudi Völler had travelled to London to hold talks with Chelsea over the transfer of Schürrle, although no fee had yet been agreed.[16] On 13 June 2013, Chelsea confirmed via their official website that they had reached an agreement with Leverkusen for the transfer of Schürrle.[17] With the transfer fee reported to be in the region of €21 million (£18 million).[18][19] On 25 June 2013, Chelsea announced that they had completed the transfer of Schürrle, bringing an end to the Londoners' protracted pursuit of the German forward. With Schürrle signing a five-year contract, he was given the number 14 shirt.[20] On 4 August Schürrle scored his first goal in a Chelsea shirt in a pre-season friendly match against Milan during a tour of the United States.[21]

On 18 August 2013, Schürrle made his competitive debut for Chelsea, coming on as a 67th-minute substitute for Kevin De Bruyne in a Premier League 2–0 win over Hull City at Stamford Bridge.[22] His first goal for Chelsea came in the club's 2–1 home victory over title challengers Manchester City on 27 October 2013, where he scored from a cross by teammate Fernando Torres.[23] On 7 December 2013, he then scored two goals against Stoke City in a 3–2 defeat.[24] On 1 March 2014, Schürrle scored his first Premier League hat-trick, against Fulham in a 3–1 away victory in the West London derby.[25] On 22 March 2014, Schürrle assisted Samuel Eto'o's goal in the 5th minute and sent Chelsea into a 2-0 lead on the 7th minute at home to Arsenal, in a match where he was awarded Man of the match, as Chelsea went on to win 6-0.[26]

On 8 April 2014, Schürrle scored in Chelsea's second leg UEFA Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain to help the Blues overturn a 3–1 first leg deficit, in a match that eventually ended in a 2–0 win and with Chelsea advancing to the semi-finals on the away-goals rule.[27]
