Jeremy Toljan, a defender who predominantly fills the right back post, was born on the 8th of August in 1994 in Germany. Currently 30 years of age, he stands 5ft 11in (1.82m) tall, weighs 11st 13lb (76kg) and dons the number 23 jersey for Sassuolo.
His football journey commenced when he joined 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga in Germany in July 2011. Over his tenure from the 2013-2017 seasons, he made an increasing number of appearances, peaking at twenty in the 2016-2017 season, also finding the back of the net once each in the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 terms respectively. His final season at Hoffenheim in 2017-2018, however, saw him make a paltry two appearances.
In August 2017, Toljan transferred from Hoffenheim to Borussia Dortmund, also in the Bundesliga, for a fee of around £4.5 million. His time at Dortmund saw him make 16 first team appearances and score one goal in league matches in the 2017-2018 season.
January 2019 saw Toljan transferred from Borussia Dortmund to Scotland's Celtic on loan where he made ten first team appearances in league matches in the 2018-2019 season.
However, in July 2019, Toljan transferred once again from Borussia Dortmund but this time to Sassuolo in the Serie B in Italy, also on loan. His performance in the Italian club has been marked by a steady increase in first-team appearances, peaking at 31 in the 2022-2023 season. His scoring, however, has been limited to a solitary goal in the 2019-2020 season.
In 2021, it appears that the former Dortmund player has finally found a permanent home. Toljan secured a transfer from Dortmund to Sassuolo in the Serie B in Italy for a fee of around £3.2 million. So far, his tenure at Sassuolo has demonstrated a consistent level of participation, from 20 appearances in the 2021-2022 season to six appearances in the current 2024-2025 season.
