Kevin Schade (born 27 November 2001) is a German professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for Premier League club Brentford and the Germany national team.[3]
Schade joined the SC Freiburg youth system in 2018 after a five-year stint with Energie Cottbus. He made his debut with the club's reserve side in July 2019 against Bahlinger SC,[4] and scored his first goal the following week in a 2–1 defeat to Kickers Offenbach.[5] In December of that year, Schade signed his first professional contract with the club.[6][7] He made his first-team debut on 21 August 2021, coming on as a 71st-minute substitute for Roland Sallai in a 2–1 victory over Borussia Dortmund.[8] Following his debut, he was quickly earmarked as one of club's bright young talents, seeing use primarily off the bench in his opening season in the Bundesliga.[9] In November 2021, despite attracting interest from such clubs as Liverpool, Schade signed a new contract with the club.[10]
On 4 January 2023, Schade signed for Premier League club Brentford on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[11][12]
On 12 June 2023, Brentford announced they had signed Schade permanently on a five-year contract for a club-record fee of around £22 million.[13]
Born to a German mother and Nigerian father, Schade is eligible to represent both Germany and Nigeria in international competition.[14]
On 17 March 2023, he received his first official call-up to the German senior national team for the friendlies against Peru and Belgium.[15] Schade made his debut for Germany against Peru. In the match against Belgium, he was introduced as a substitute and provided an assist for Serge Gnabry, where in doing so, he demonstrated his passing and pace.[16]
