Kosovo midfielder, Valon Berisha, has found a new team.
Berisha signed with the famous Swiss club, Zurich on Wednesday. The 33-year-old was most recently in Austria with LASK, but without being successful.
Berisha has signed a contract with Zurich valid until the end of the season, with the possibility of extension for another year. Zurich also has Lindrit Kamberi and Bledian Krasniqi. Zurich has had several Albanian players for many years.
"From the beginning I had a very good feeling. The talks went very well and I also know Zurich as a team. I had former teammates and also teammates in the national team who played for Zurich. They only spoke well. When the option came, I wanted to come at all costs. I had a clear head. I am very happy," Berisha told Zurich's official website.
Zurich is currently in the race to secure its existence in the Swiss Super League. It holds the tenth place with 25 points. The Swiss league has 12 teams. Behind Zurich are Grasshopper and Winterthur.
"I am a leading player and I want to help the boys, support them with my experience but also on the field. I want to win and celebrate with Zurich," said Berisha.

Berisha was born in Sweden and raised in Norway. He played for teams such as Egersund and Viking, and in 2012 he transferred to Salzburg in Austria. He played with great success for this team until 2018. He then made a career for Lazio in Serie A, Fortuna Dusseldorf in Germany, Reims in France, Melbourne City in Australia and LASK in Austria. He stayed at LASK for two years, but in the current season he was not one of the important players and decided to leave.
This season he played ten matches in the Austrian Bundesliga, while he had two more appearances in the Austrian Cup. He was last active on November 1.
For a long time, Valon Berisha was one of Kosovo's main midfielders. He now has 52 games and four goals. However, after the recent arrivals, especially Elvis Rexhbeçaj and Leon Avdullah, he is only one of the reserve midfielders.
