Early career

Itten started his youth football with FC Black Stars Basel in 2003, and then moved to BSC Old Boys a year later. In February 2007 he transferred to Basel and played in their U-18 team and their U-21 team. Itten was a part of FC Basel's 2013–14 UEFA Youth League campaign. He signed a three-year professional contract on 21 August 2015 and joined their first team.

Itten made his league debut for Basel on 21 February 2016 during the 5–1 home win against Vaduz. He scored his first league goal for Basel on 21 February during the 4–1 away win against Lugano. Under trainer Urs Fischer Itten won the Swiss Super League championship at the end of the 2015–16 Super League season.

On 18 June 2016, Basel announced that they were loaning out Itten to FC Luzern, until the end of the 2016–17 Swiss Super League season, so that he could gain first team playing experience. Again on 23 June 2017 Basel announced that they were prolonging their contract with Itten until 30 June 2020 and were continuing the loan to Luzern for another year, until the end of the 2017–18 season.

Due to Basel's bad start to the season, on 13 September 2017 Basel announced that they had recalled striker Itten back from the loan. His first goal following his return was the winning goal for the team in the Stadio Comunale (Chiasso) during the 2017–18 Swiss Cup match in the against FC Chiasso.
