Artjoms Rudņevs (born 13 January 1988 in Daugavpils) is a Latvian footballer who currently plays as a striker for Fußball-Bundesliga club Hamburger SV.[1]
Club career
Early career and ZTE
Rudņevs started his career with his local club FC Daugava in Daugavpils, where he played until February 2009 when he signed a contract with the Hungarian club Zalaegerszegi TE.[2] There was a problem with the new contract after signing because the previous one with Daugava was still active, so FIFA was involved. In May 2009 ,he finally made his debut.[3][4] Rudņevs played in Hungary for three seasons, scoring 20 goals in 30 league matches.[5]
Lech Poznań

In July 2010, rumors appeared that the Ekstraklasa club Lech Poznań were interested in signing him. Later on these rumors were verified and Rudņevs joined the club on trial.[6] After a successful trial at the club and after passing the medical tests, Lech started signing talks with ZTE. Clubs couldn't agree the transfer fee for a long time and, when it was done, the Polish side failed in talks with the player about the individual contract. It seemed that the talks were over but in August, after Rudņevs had scored two goals in the season opener, the Polish club board and ZTE reopened the discussions. This time talks were successful and Rudņevs signed a four-year contract with the Polish side.[7]
2010–11 season
In his debut in Lech Poznań jersey against Widzew Łódź he scored a goal.[8] The upcoming matches were even more successful as he managed to score three more goals in five consecutive matches until 11 September 2010.[9] It turned out to be the winning goal as Lech won 2–1. Five days later he was on the score sheet again, scoring a hat-trick in a game against Juventus in the Europa League, the first goal a coolly slotted penalty, the second a scissor kick from three yards and the third an equalizing long-yard kick deep into injury time.[10] Rudņevs himself stated that this had been "the best match of his career so far".[11]
Until the end of the Polish Ekstraklasa season, Rudņevs managed to score 11 goals in 27 matches and finished the championship as the fourth top-scorer of the league.[12] On 1 December 2010, he scored yet again against Juventus, saying afterwards that Juventus' goalkeeper Alexander Manninger is his "favourite goalkeeper to play against".[13] The match ended 1–1, a result that gained Lech progress to the next round and at the same time eliminated Juventus from the competition.[14] In the first match against SC Braga in the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League, Rudņevs scored a goal as Lech won 1–0.[15] However, in the second match Lech lost 0–2 and were knocked out of the Europa League.[16] With five goals in the Europa League, Rudņevs became the fourth top scorer, sharing this achievement with four other players.[17]
2011–12 season
He became an immediate top-scorer of the league, as of December 2011, having scored 18 goals in 17 league matches.[18] In the start of January 2012 Rudņevs was named the best player of the Ekstraklasa in 2011 by Polish Footballers' Association.[19] Rudņevs finished the season with 22 goals in 29 league matches, becoming the top-scorer.[20] On 8 May 2012, the supervisory board of the German Bundesliga team Hamburger SV agreed on the transfer after the season 2011/2012.[21] On 11 May, the transfer was officially confirmed by both clubs.[22]
Hamburger SV
In the 2012-13 season, Rudņevs became the first Latvian football player in the Fußball-Bundesliga.[citation needed] Hamburger SV started the season with three consecutive loses in which Rudņevs filled the stat sheet with only one assist. Rudņevs scored his first goal in the Fußball-Bundesliga on 26 September 2012 in a game against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
International career
Rudņevs was firstly called up to the national side on 12 November 2008 for the friendly match against Estonia. He started this match in the first eleven.[23] Rudņevs also played for the U-21 side. He was called up to the national side again in January 2010 for the friendly match against South Korea.[24] Rudņevs started the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying matches in the first eleven alongside Māris Verpakovskis, putting Ģirts Karlsons on the bench. On 7 October 2011, he scored his first international goal in the 2–0 victory over Malta in a Euro 2012 qualifying match.[25]
