Davie Selke

Davie Selke interests me as a study in early promise and the long grind that follows. A 192cm striker from Schorndorf, he broke through at Werder Bremen and commanded a record second-division fee when RB Leipzig signed him, a sign of how highly clubs once rated him. His move to Turkey's Başakşehir shows a player willing to change stages and keep fighting. I have a soft spot for big target men who do the unglamorous work near goal, and Selke's persistence across leagues, refusing to fade after the early hype, is the kind of resilience I quietly root for.

Davie Selke (German pronunciation: [ˈzɛlkə]; born 20 January 1995) is a German professional footballer who plays as a striker for Süper Lig club İstanbul Başakşehir. Selke began his professional career with Werder Bremen in 2013 where he went on to score 10 goals in 36 appearances before signing for RB Leipzig in 2015 for a 2. Bundesliga record fee of €8 million.
