Alban Bushi continues to steal players from Kosovo and is proud of it!

Alban Bushi, coach of Albania’s U21 football team, thanked Omer Bajraktari, who “has left Kosovo’s youth teams and chosen Albania”.

Bushi made the comment on Thursday at a press conference, after announcing the list of players called up for the friendly against Ukraine on October 5 in Hungary.

Numan Ajetovikj, from North Macedonia’s youth ranks, also joined Albania’s U21 squad.

“I want to thank both players: Numan Ajetovikj, who has left North Macedonia and chosen Albania, and Omer Bajraktari, a player with great potential who has left Kosovo’s youth teams and chosen Albania. I want to thank them both and say that they have great potential for our U21 team, but also for the senior team,” Bushi said at the press conference.

Bajraktari has played for Kosovo U19 and U20. But in Albania, he is seen as a prospect who could soon feature for the senior team.

The 19-year-old plays for Malisheva as a left-back.

He has one assist in five matches in Kosovo’s football Super League.
