Jurgen Gjasula

Place of Birth: Tirana

Position: Central Attacking Midfielder

Club: Duisburg

Gjasula started his career at SC Freiburg as a youth, a club that would later on offer him his first professional contract. He was transferred to FC Kaiserslautern and subsequently to St Gallen in Switzerland where he was an integral part of the team during his 3 seasons there.

In 2008 he moved to FC Basel, where he experienced Champions League football (playing in the qualifying rounds). He fell out of favour with the new manager that took over FC Basel in 2009 and subsequently his contract was not renewed.

He moved to FSV Frankfurt on a free – and established himself once again as a indispensible player – appearing 60 times and scoring 9 goals.

Since 2011 season, Gjasula has represented MSV Duisburg. While he is no longer a youth, Gjasula has amassed a lot of experience, and a call-up from the Albanian national team would surprise nobody. He is definitely hard-working and level headed and would be an important addition to any squad – whether this suggestion gets taken into consideration, remains to be seen. Nevertheless it would be a complete waste to see such a players talent not utilised by Albania or Kosova.
