Gregor Kobel, born on 6 December 1997 (age 28), is a Switzerland goalkeeper with the build for the job: a commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m). His current market value is around £34m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior football included time with 1899 Hoffenheim, where he made a league appearance in 2018-2019. Those first steps, including the loan football that followed, gave him the platform to become more than another tall keeper with good equipment and a decent reputation.
It is Borussia Dortmund that has shaped his career. Kobel has made 153 league appearances across six seasons for the club, wearing the No.1 shirt and becoming a regular presence in a side where goalkeepers tend not to enjoy quiet afternoons.
In 2026-2027 he remains involved in the first team, with four Bundesliga appearances, one DFL-Supercup appearance and one Champions League appearance for Dortmund. He has also been active with Switzerland this season.
Kobel’s career has moved from early development through Hoffenheim and loan experience into a long, settled spell at Dortmund. He remains an established goalkeeper at a major German club, with his best years tied closely to that spell.
