Sven Köhler (born 8 November 1996) is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Swiss Super League club Grasshoppers.[1]

Career

Köhler made his professional debut for VfL Osnabrück in the 2. Bundesliga on 2 August 2019, coming on as a substitute in the 90+4th minute for Anas Ouahim in the 1–0 away win against SV Sandhausen.[2]

On 24 June 2023, Köhler joined Danish Superliga club OB on a deal until June 2026.[3] Ahead of the 2024-25 season, he signed with Köhler 2. Bundesliga club Eintracht Braunschweig.[4]

On 9 February 2026, he transferred to Swiss Super League side Grasshopper Club Zürich.[5] He joins the Swiss record champions on a contract until summer 2028. Just a day later, he was nominated to the starting lineup in Grasshoppers' away match against FC Luzern.[6] However, he had a less than ideal beginning to life in Zurich, as he scored an own-goal, putting Luzern up 3–2 in the 50th minute of the game. Grasshoppers would go on to lose the match 4–3.
