Lasse Schöne (Danish pronunciation: [ˈlasə ˈɕøːnə]; born 27 May 1986) is a Danish professional footballer currently playing for Dutch club Ajax and the Danish national team as a midfielder or winger.

Schöne has spent his entire professional career in the Netherlands, with De Graafschap, NEC and Ajax, scoring over 60 league goals.

Schöne scored on his full international debut in 2009 and was part of the Danish squad at UEFA Euro 2012 and FIFA World Cup 2018.

Club career

De Graafschap

Born in Glostrup, Schöne began playing youth football with Himmelev-Veddelev BK and moved on to B70 and then Lyngby. In 2002, he moved to the youth team of Eredivisie club Heerenveen. He spent four years with the team without playing any league matches and moved to Eerste Divisie club De Graafschap in 2006. In his first season, he helped De Graafschap win promotion to the Eredivisie. In his two seasons with De Graafschap, he scored 12 goals in 70 matches.

N.E.C.

Schöne signed for NEC in the summer of 2008. He scored the winning goal for NEC away at Spartak Moscow in December 2008, which sent the team through to the next round of the UEFA Cup. The club and the fans picked him as NEC's player of the year, a title he also won at his previous club, De Graafschap.

Ajax

On 18 April 2012, Schöne joined Ajax on a contract valid until 2015.[4][5] In so doing, Schöne joined the ranks of a number of Danish players to play for Ajax, including Michael Laudrup, who had been a role model for him throughout his career.[6] The club and the fans picked him as the player of the year in 2014.[7] On 2 March 2015, he signed a new contract lasting until summer 2017. On 22 February 2017, he signed a new contract lasting until summer 2019.

International career

Youth

Schöne began his international career with the Denmark national under-16 team, scoring a goal on his debut in August 2001. He played a total of ten matches and scored one goal for the under-17 and under-18 teams from July 2002 to March 2004. After he joined De Graafschap, Schöne made his debut for the under-21 team in March 2007. He played a total nine matches and scored one goal for the under-21s until October 2008.

Senior

On 12 August 2009, Schöne made an immediate impact on his debut for the Denmark senior team in a friendly against Chile, when he scored less than a minute after being put into action in the second half. The goal was the equaliser in an eventual 1–2 loss at the Brøndby Stadium.

In May 2018 he was named in Denmark's preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[8]
