André Horst Schürrle (German pronunciation: [anˈdʁeː ˈʃʏʁlə, ˈandʁeː -]; born 6 November 1990) is a German former professional footballer who played as a forward or winger. He was part of Germany's 2014 FIFA World Cup squad. He began his career at 1. FSV Mainz 05, then went to Bayer 04 Leverkusen. His performances at that club got Chelsea interested in him, and in 2013 he was sold to Chelsea for £18 million.

Schürrle was a full international for Germany from 2010 to 2017, gaining 57 caps and scoring 22 goals. He was a member of the German squads which reached the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2012 and won the 2014 FIFA World Cup. During extra-time in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final he provided the assist for Mario Götze's winning goal against Argentina.[3] He retired from professional football in July 2020, at the age of 29.
