Davie Zelke leaves Cologne.
Born in 1995, Zelke, a German striker, wore the Cologne uniform during the 2022-23 season. Having grown up with Werder Bremen Youth, Zelke began his professional career by calling up for the 2012-13 season and became a regular striker starting from the 2014-15 season, taking responsibility for his team's attacks.
Ahead of the 2015-16 season, he headed to Leipzig, where he aims to be promoted to the top division with massive capital. The transfer fee amounts to 8 million euros. As a starting member of the team upon his transfer, he scored 10 goals and three assists in 32 matches, contributing to his team's promotion. However, he failed to perform well in the first division, and ultimately left Leipzig in two years. He is currently heading to Hertha Berlin.
He also showed stellar performance in Berlin. Having had chances to play since the first season after moving to Berlin, he showed off his potential by scoring 14 goals and four assists in 31 matches, and also recorded double-digit attack points (four goals and nine assists) in the 2018-19 season as well, playing as a "trust man." Starting from the 2019-20 season, he left for Bremen as a member of his pro-Korean team, but continued to play as a rotation resource after returning to the team.
He moved to Cologne through the winter transfer window of the 2022-23 season. Although he was not a regular player, he left a strong impact even in a short period of time and renewed his contract six months after joining the club. His final record for Cologne during the 2022-23 season was five goals in 17 matches. 밤알바
However, the team has displayed better-than-expected performances this season. In terms of scores alone, the team showed little difference from the previous season, but showed regret in terms of its impact on games. The final record for the 2023-24 season was six goals in 21 games.
Eventually, he left Cologne regardless of his will. In the 2023-24 season, Cologne ranked 17th in the league and was demoted to the second division. "Zelke is leaving Cologne. He wanted to stay by giving up his salary, and discussions continued with manager Gerhard Struber. However, he failed to reach an agreement on other details. Now he will be a free agent," said Florian Platenberg, a reporter for Germany's Sky Sports.
