Simon Zoller (born 26 June 1991) is a German footballer who plays as a striker for 1. FC Köln.

Career

He began his career with Karlsruher SC, and made his debut for the club in November 2010, as a substitute for Patrick Dulleck in a 0–0 draw with VfL Osnabrück in the 2. Bundesliga. Karlsruhe were relegated to the 3. Liga at the end of the following season, so Zoller left the club, signing for VfL Osnabrück, along with team-mates Marcus Piossek and Timo Staffeldt. In June 2013, he signed a four-year contract with 2. Bundesliga side 1. FC Kaiserslautern.[1] A year later, after outstanding performances for Kaiserslautern, he signed for recently promoted Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln on a four-year deal. Köln had to pay a transfer fee of reportedly €3 million.[2]

However, Zoller couldn't fulfill the high expectations during the first leg of the 2014–15 campaign and returned subsequently in the winter break on loan to 1. FC Kaiserslautern for the remainder of the season.[3]
