Haris Tabakovic

Haris Tabakovic is a journeyman striker who reinvented himself spectacularly late in his career. After years drifting through Hungarian and Austrian football, he became Hertha BSC's top scorer in the 2022-23 Bundesliga 2 season, earning a move to Hoffenheim and then Borussia Mönchengladbach. That late-blooming form also unlocked a Switzerland call-up, remarkable for a player who spent most of his twenties outside top-flight football. He is not a technical sophisticate but a penalty-box predator whose movement and finishing punch above what his career trajectory would suggest. For Switzerland, he offers a physical, direct option off the bench.
