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 now with Werder Bremen, where he wears number 26. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) forward, he is valued at around £1.5m by Transfermarkt.

His strongest league season came with St. Gallen in 2019–20, when he scored 19 goals in 34 appearances. That remains the clear high point of his club record: a productive spell in Switzerland that showed what he can offer when used regularly and supplied properly.

At Werder Bremen in 2026–27, Itten has made one Bundesliga appearance. He has also been involved with Switzerland this season, making three World Cup appearances and one in European World Cup qualifying.

Itten’s career has been that of a capable Swiss centre-forward, with his St. Gallen form still the main reference point and his current role at Werder more limited so far.
