Louis Schaub (German pronunciation: [ˈluːi ˈʃaʊ̯p];[2][3] born 29 December 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Austrian Bundesliga club Rapid Wien. Born in Germany, he played for the Austria national team.[4][5]
He was selected by influential football website IBWM in their list of the 100 most exciting players in world football for 2014.[6]
Club career
[edit | edit source]Schaub made his debut for Rapid Wien's senior team in the 3–0 Austrian Football Bundesliga win over Sturm Graz on 18 August 2012.[7] On 4 August 2015, Schaub scored two goals, including the winning goal in an unexpected 3–2 victory for Rapid Wien against Ajax Amsterdam in the UEFA Champions League qualifier.[8]
Having played for 1. FC Köln since 2018, Schaub was loaned to Swiss side Luzern for the 2020–21 season.[9] He joined Hannover 96 on a free transfer in July 2022.[10]
Schaub returned to Rapid Wien at the start of the 2024–25 season.[11]
International career
