Leon Avdullahu is the news of the day in the Swiss sports media. The 21-year-old chose Kosovo and not Switzerland. Of course, he could have chosen Albania.
His agent has explained with arguments why Avdullahu chose the "Dardans" and not the Helvetians, like Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and others.
" I understand the emotion and disappointment in Switzerland. Leon grew up here, received his education here, and Switzerland will always remain his homeland for him. He did not decide against Switzerland, but for Kosovo. He chose his family identity with his heart ."
Avdullahu is a player who has played for all the Swiss national team's "chain" teams. He has played for Switzerland U-15, U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19 and U-21. It was with the latter that he stood out the most, with 6 appearances.
As for his club career, the defensive midfielder started his professional career at Basel. In July of this year, he was transferred to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga for 8 million euros.
He is expected to be an important reinforcement for the Kosovo squad and coach Franko Foda. His value on "Transfermarkt" is 10 million euros, while after this choice, the Albanians of Kosovo and beyond, can start celebrating.
