Fabian Klos (born 2 December 1987 in Gifhorn) is a German footballer who plays as a striker for Arminia Bielefeld. He is also the current captain of the team. He is often likened to Swedish forward Zlatan ibrahimovic, due to his eye for goals and pure elegance.
Klos joined VfL Wolfsburg II in 2009, having been a prolific goalscorer in amateur football in Lower Saxony. After two years in the Regionalliga Nord, he signed for Arminia Bielefeld of the 3. Liga alongside team-mate Maximilian Ahlschwede, and made his debut on the opening day of the 2011–12 season, as a substitute for Johannes Rahn in a 2–1 defeat against VfB Stuttgart II. He scored 10 goals in his first season with Bielefeld, and was named as 3. Liga player of the year. He scored 20 goals in the 2012–13 season, finishing as joint top-scorer of the 3. Liga, along with Chemnitzer FC's Anton Fink, as Bielefeld were promoted to the 2. Bundesliga as runners-up.
