German-Ethiopian Soccer Player Davie Selke, SV Werder Bremen
SV Werder Bremen forward Davie Selke is a 20-year-old who “always plays at full throttle” and has been likened to Miroslav Klose. UEFA.com digs a little deeper.
Selke’s father is Ethiopian, but Davie was born in southern Germany and played for a number of local clubs before being signed – and let go – by VfB Stuttgart’s youth department. After a spell with 1. FC Normannia Gmünd, he joined TSG 1899 Hoffenheim as a 14-year-old in 2009, though he moved on to Bremen in the winter of 2012/13. Handed his top-flight debut in late 2013, he was voted the club’s sportsman of the year for 2014.
