Deniz Undav took one of football's most unlikely routes to the top: released by Werder Bremen as a youth for being too small, he worked his way up through SV Meppen and the German lower leagues before exploding at Belgium's Union Saint-Gilloise, where he won a league top-scorer prize. After a tough spell at Brighton, he returned to Germany with Stuttgart and became a prolific Bundesliga striker, finishing 2025-26 with 19 league goals. He is a key goalscoring option for Germany at the 2026 World Cup.
- Was released by Werder Bremen as a youth for being too small
