Sébastien Romain Teddy Haller (born 22 June 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eredivisie club Ajax and the Ivory Coast national team. He has previously played for Auxerre, Utrecht, Eintracht Frankfurt and West Ham United.
Early life[]
Haller was born in Ris-Orangis, Essonne, Paris, France [4] to a French father and an Ivorian mother.[5][6]
Club career[]
Auxerre[]
During the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup, on 26 June 2011, Haller signed his first professional contract with Auxerre, agreeing to a three-year deal.[7]
Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Haller was promoted to the senior team by manager Jean-Guy Wallemme. His professional debut came on 27 July 2012, in the team's opening league match of the 2012–13 campaign against Nîmes.[8]
Utrecht[]
On 24 December 2014, it was announced that Haller was sent on loan to Dutch Eredivisie club Utrecht until the end of the season.[9] At the end of the season, it was announced that FC Utrecht had signed Haller.[10] The supporters voted for Haller as the winner of the Di Tommaso Trophy 2015, Utrecht's player of the year award.[11]
Eintracht Frankfurt[]
On 15 May 2017, Haller signed with Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-year deal.[12] In the 2017–18 DFB-Pokal, he scored four goals for Frankfurt, as the club won the final, marking the first trophy of Haller's career. In the 2018–19 Bundesliga season, he scored 15 league goals in 29 appearances as the club finished seventh.[13] In addition to his goals scored, he also made nine assists, so was involved in 24 goals, a figure only beaten in the 2018–19 season by Robert Lewandowski with 29.[14]
West Ham United[]
On 17 July 2019, Haller signed with West Ham United on a five-year deal for a club record fee, that could rise to £45 million.[15][16] On 31 July, Haller scored his first goal for West Ham in a pre-season friendly against Hertha BSC, in which West Ham won 5–3.[17] He made his Premier League debut for West Ham on 10 August, in a 5–0 loss against reigning champions Manchester City.[18] On 24 August 2019, Haller scored his first and second goals in the Premier League for West Ham in a 3–1 away win against Watford in which he scored an acrobatic bicycle kick.[19]
On 1 January 2020, Haller scored his first goal of the calendar year, an acrobatic scissor kick to score the second against AFC Bournemouth in a 4–0 home win.[20] In July 2020, Frankfurt reported West Ham to FIFA after they had failed to pay an instalment in May 2020 of £5.4million as part of the £45 million transfer. West Ham claimed that they had withheld the payment, following a contractual dispute between the two clubs.[21]
On 16 December 2020, Haller scored an overhead kick in a 1–1 draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League that was later voted as the Premier League Goal of the Month in December.[22][23]
Ajax[]
On 8 January 2021, Ajax announced the signing of Haller on a four-and-a-half-year contract. They paid a transfer fee of €22.5 million to West Ham United.[24][25] Haller made his debut two days later as a second-half substitute against De Topper rivals PSV; he provided an assist to Antony for Ajax's equalizing goal and also had a goal ruled out by VAR for offside as the match ended 2–2.[26] On 14 January, Haller scored his first goal for Ajax, and provided an assist, in a 3–1 away league win over FC Twente.[27] On 3 February, it was revealed that Haller had been mistakenly omitted from Ajax's squad list for the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League and therefore would be unable to play for the club in the competition.[28]
International career[]
Haller is a France youth international, having represented his nation at every youth level. He played with the under-17 team at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[29]
In November 2020, Haller was called up to the Ivory Coast national team.[30] He debuted for the Ivory Coast in a 2–1 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification win over Madagascar on 12 November, scoring his side's game-winning goal in the 55th minute.[31]
