André Horst Schürrle (born 6 November 1990) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Borussia Dortmund and the Germany national team.
He began his career at FSV Mainz 05 in 2009, spending two years at the club before a £6.5 million transfer to Bayer 04 Leverkusen. His performances there gained the attention of Chelsea, who signed him for a reported £18 million in 2013. Schürrle played one-and-a-half Premier League seasons at the English club before joining VfL Wolfsburg for £22 million in January 2015, winning the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup in his first year.
Schürrle has been a full international for Germany since 2010, gaining over 50 caps and scoring 20 goals. He was a member of the German squads which reached the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2012 and won the 2014 FIFA World Cup. During extra-time in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final he provided the assist for Mario Götze's winning goal against Argentina.
Schürrle was born in Ludwigshafen, Rhineland-Palatinate to Luise and Joachim Schürrle.
Schürrle started his career at local club Ludwigshafener SC, before joining 1. FSV Mainz 05 in 2006. He spent three years playing for the club's youth teams, where he won the Under 19 Bundesliga in 2009.
In August 2009, Schürrle made his Bundesliga debut in a 2–2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on the opening day of the 2009–10 season. The following month, on 19 September 2009, Schürrle scored his first two league goals in a 3–2 away win against VfL Bochum before signing a professional contract with the club later in the week.
