Player Information
Personal life
Guido Burgstaller (born 29 April 1989) is an Austrian footballer who plays as a striker for Schalke 04.
Club career
Cardiff City
On 23 May 2014, he joined Cardiff City on a three-year deal as Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s second signing of the summer, after Javi Guerra. Burgstaller said “My decision to join Cardiff City was never in question when the club first contacted me, it has always been a dream for me to play in this country. I’ve followed Cardiff in the Premier League last season and I’m very proud and honoured to be given the chance to wear the Cardiff City jersey – I’m a big admirer of the passion of the fans.” He made his debut in the Championship on 8 August, replacing Kenwyne Jones for the last 20 minutes of a 1–1 draw at Blackburn Rovers on the opening day of the season. Five days later, Burgstaller scored within four minutes of his 1st start as Cardiff won 2–1 away to Coventry City in the first round of the League Cup. On 26 January 2015, he left Cardiff by mutual consent, joining II Bundesliga side Nürnberg on an undisclosed deal four days later.
Schalke 04
On 12 January 2017, Burgstaller joined Schalke 04 for an undisclosed fee. At the time, Burgstaller was top scorer in the II Bundesliga with 14 goals, and was signed as the Royal Blues had only one fit striker in Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. On 21 January, Burgstaller scored on his debut, the only goal of the match in a win over Ingolstadt. Afterwards, he had an inconsistent run in terms of goalscoring in the Bundesliga, but braces against Augsburg, Wolfsburg and Bayer Leverkusen helped him become Schalke’s top scorer with nine goals. In Burgstaller’s first full season as a Schalke player, he was named as Domenico Tedesco’s top striker, following the departures of Choupo-Moting and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. His first goal of the season came against Stuttgart, and in October, he scored in three consecutive matches, including in a DFB-Pokal second round tie against Wehen Wiesbaden. On 25 November, Burgstaller netted the first goal in a 4–4 draw against Borussia Dortmund, in a match where Schalke were 4–0 down at halftime. On 7 February 2018, Burgstaller scored the only goal of the match in a win over Wolfsburg, taking them to the DFB-Pokal semi-finals for the first time since the 2010–11 season.
International career
He made his full international debut for his country on 29 February 2012, playing the last 5 minutes of a 3–1 friendly win over Finland as a replacement for Andreas Ivanschitz. Burgstaller scored his first goal for Austria against Serbia on October 6, 2017. The first goal in a 3-2 win.
