Nikolas Nartey, born on 22 February 2000 (age 26), is a Danish central midfielder with Stuttgart. He wears squad number 28 and is valued at around £1.5m by Transfermarkt.
His early senior football included loan spells that mattered for his development, giving him the kind of minutes young midfielders rarely get by standing politely on the edge of a first-team squad. Those years helped carry him towards a more settled role at Stuttgart, where his game has been built through steady involvement rather than noise.
His most productive league season came in 2025-26, when he scored four times in 28 league appearances for Stuttgart. In 2026-27, he has made three Bundesliga appearances and one Champions League appearance for the club.
Nartey has also been involved with Denmark this season, appearing once in World Cup qualifying and once in the Nations League. His career to this point is that of an established professional midfielder still working through the harder part of the Bundesliga ladder.
