Pierre-Michel Lasogga (born 15 December 1991) is a German footballer who plays as a centre-forward for Bundesliga club Hamburger SV.
After playing for the youth teams of 1. FC Gladbeck, Schalke 04, Rot-Weiss Essen, SG Wattenscheid 09 and VfL Wolfsburg, Lasogga attracted the attention of Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, who signed him in 2009. Lasogga quickly established himself in Leverkusen's youth team, making 25 appearances in the 2009–10 season. He scored 25 times in the U-19 Bundesliga West, making him the league's top goalscorer, and helped secure Leverkusen a spot in the national finals, which they lost 1–0 to . Towards the end of the season, Lasogga made his senior debut, making five appearances for Bayer 04 Leverkusen's reserves in the Regionalliga West during the 2009–10 season.
After just one season with Leverkusen, he left the club, and signed for 2. Bundesliga club Hertha BSC on a three-year contract.
Lasogga impressed during Hertha's preseason friendlies, scoring six goals, but injured himself just days before the opening fixture. After missing the first five league matches, Lasogga made his professional debut against Energie Cottbus on 24 September 2010. Three weeks later, Lasogga featured in Hertha's starting formation for the first time. He managed to take full advantage of the opportunity and scored twice. His success continued; after the winter break, he successfully replaced Rob Friend in Hertha's starting formation, starting all but three games ahead of the Canadian. At the end of the season, Hertha was promoted to the Bundesliga after one season in the second division. He finished the 2010–11 season with 13 goals in 25 league appearances, an appearance in the German Cup, and three goals in five appearances for Hertha BSC II in the Regionalliga Nord.
