Žan Vipotnik (born 18 March 2002) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a forward for club Swansea City and the Slovenia national team.
On 1 August 2024, Vipotnik joined Championship side Swansea City on a four-year deal following the mutual termination of his contract with Bordeaux.[2]
Between 2017 and 2022, Vipotnik represented Slovenia in all youth levels from under-15 to under-21 and made more than 25 appearances for all teams combined.[3] In March 2023, he was called up to the Slovenian senior team by manager Matjaž Kek for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Kazakhstan and San Marino.[4] Vipotnik made his full international debut on 23 March in an away game against Kazakhstan, where he entered the game in the 70th minute and scored the winning goal for Slovenia eight minutes later in a 2–1 win.[5] By doing so, he became the second youngest player to score for Slovenia, behind only Benjamin Šeško, at the age of 21 years and 5 days.[6]
