Cedric Itten
Cedric Jan Itten (born 27 December 1996) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a centre forward for Bundesliga club Werder Bremen and the Switzerland national team.
Itten started his youth football with FC Black Stars Basel in 2003, before moving to BSC Old Boys a year later. In February 2007 he moved on to the youth department of Basel and played in their U-18 team and their U-21 team. Itten was a part of FC Basel's 2013–14 UEFA Youth League campaign.
Itten signed a three-year junior professional contract on 21 August 2015 and joined Basel's first team for their 2015–16 season under head coach Urs Fischer. After playing in two test games, Itten played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 21 February 2016 as Basel won 5–1 against Vaduz. Itten played the assist as Birkir Bjarnason scored the last goal of the game. He scored his first league goal for his club on 13 February in the away game in the Cornaredo as Basel won 4–1 against Lugano. It was the team's fourth goal, scored just before half time. With the team Itten won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2015–16 Super League season. For the club it was the seventh title in a row and their 19th championship title in total.
On 18 June 2016, Basel announced that they were loaning out Itten to FC Luzern, until the end of the 2016–17 Swiss Super League season, so that he could gain more first team playing experience. Itten had a successful season scoring three goals in 28 appearances. Then, on 23 June 2017 Basel announced that they were prolonging their contract with Itten until 30 June 2020 and were continuing the loan Itten to Luzern for another period, until the end of the 2017–18 season.
Due to Basel's bad start to their 2017–18 season, due strikers transferring out and due to injuries of their replacements, on 13 September 2017 Basel announced that they had recalled striker Itten back from his loan. His first goal following his return was the winning goal for the team in the Stadio Comunale (Chiasso) during the 2017–18 Swiss Cup match on 17 September. It was the winning goal as Basel won 1–0 against FC Chiasso. Until the winter break Itten had 10 domestic league appearances, scoring two goals.
In January 2018 Itten was loaned to St. Gallen, but never returned to Basel. During his period with the club, Itten played a total of 29 games for Basel scoring a total of five goals. 21 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, three in the Swiss Cup, two in the UEFA competitions (Champions League and Europa League) and three were friendly games. He scored three goals in the domestic league, one in the cup and the other was scored during the test games.
On 17 January 2018, Basel announced that Itten would be loaned out to St. Gallen until the end of the season, with an option to buy. On 29 June 2018 it was announced that St. Gallen pulled the option and had bought the striker.
On 4 August 2020, Itten signed for Scottish club Rangers, on a four-year deal and for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £2.7 million.
