Foda heaps praise on Asllani: He has exceptional qualities

Kosovo striker Fisnik Asllani could be very close to taking a major step in his career, as his name is increasingly being linked with a transfer to the renowned German club RB Leipzig.

The 23-year-old footballer has missed Hoffenheim’s first two friendly matches of the pre-season, initially against fourth-tier side SGV Heilbronn-Freiberg, and he was also not part of the team for the match against Greuther Fürth, a side competing in the 2. Bundesliga.

In an interview with the German outlet “LVZSport”, Kosovo head coach Franco Foda spoke in glowing terms about Asllani’s qualities, particularly highlighting his ability in the penalty area, reports Klankosova.tv.

Fisnik has exceptional qualities in the box, is very technically gifted, adapts well in tight spaces and in the aerial game. He protects the ball well and has a nose for different situations in the game. With him on the pitch, you can attack in behind; he scores and provides assists”, Foda said.

Kosovo’s coach also praised Asllani’s character and commitment on the pitch, stressing that he is not a footballer who thinks only about his personal statistics, but also works for the team’s interests.

In addition to all these qualities, he is a team player, always ready to help the team and works hard to win the ball back as well. He has a great passion for football and an extraordinary desire to score goals”, Foda said.

The Kosovo striker finished the season with 11 goals and 10 assists in 35 appearances in the Bundesliga and German Cup, attracting the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
