Cedric Itten

Cedric Itten of Werder Bremen was born in Basel, Switzerland on 27 December 1996 (age 29).

Cedric Itten, born on 27 December 1996 (age 29), is a Switzerland international striker currently with Werder Bremen. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) forward, he has built his career around penalty-box presence rather than any great mystery.

His most productive league spell came with St. Gallen in 2019-20, when he scored 19 goals in 34 appearances. That remains the clear peak of his club output, the season that gave his career its strongest push and marked him out beyond the Swiss domestic scene.

At Werder Bremen in 2025-26, Itten has not made a league appearance. He has still been involved with Switzerland this season, making one World Cup appearance and one appearance in European World Cup qualifying. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Itten’s career is that of an established Swiss striker with one outstanding league campaign at St. Gallen, current club status at Werder Bremen, and continuing international involvement with Switzerland.

Itten's career has been mobile since leaving St. Gallen, taking in Rangers, a loan to Greuther Furth, Young Boys, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Werder Bremen. His Rangers spell was modest on the scoring side, with four goals in 2020-21 and one in 2021-22, while the stronger returns came later, including 19 goals in 2022-23 and 10 in 2023-24.

The transfer pattern was fee-heavy rather than built on free moves: Rangers paid a 2.5m fee to sign Itten from St. Gallen in 2020, then sold him to Young Boys for 1.6m in 2022 after his Greuther Furth loan. Young Boys later moved him to Fortuna Dusseldorf for 1.3m in 2025, showing a player who continued to command fees despite an unsettled route.
