Kjell Watjen, born on 16 February 2006 (age 20), is a German centre midfielder with Borussia Dortmund. His senior career has so far been built inside Dortmund’s own structure, rather than through the usual tour of loans and tidy development pathways.
His most productive league season came in 2024–25 with Borussia Dortmund II, where he scored five goals in 20 appearances. For a central midfielder, that is useful output without needing to pretend it makes him the finished article.
His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Watjen is a young German midfielder working his way through at Dortmund, with his strongest senior evidence still coming from his spell with the second team.
