Nikolas Nartey, born on 22 February 2000 (age 26), is a Danish central midfielder with Stuttgart. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior education came through loan football, the sort of stage that tends to test midfielders properly: less polish, more responsibility, fewer hiding places. Those spells helped move him beyond the promise of a young Danish player and towards a more settled role in Germany.
At Stuttgart, Nartey’s most productive league campaign came in 2025-2026, when he scored four goals in 28 appearances. That is the season that gives his club career its clearest shape so far, with enough involvement to suggest he had become more than a squad name.
In 2026-2027, he has made one Bundesliga appearance for Stuttgart. He has also represented Denmark this season, with one appearance in World Cup qualifying.
Nartey’s career to date is that of a developing international midfielder who took useful early loan steps before establishing himself at Stuttgart, where his best league return came in 2025-2026.
