My Take
What fascinates me about Valon Berisha is the geography of his identity. Born in Malmö, raised in Norway, with Kosovar roots, he came up through Norway's youth and senior teams before ultimately choosing to represent Kosovo. A capable midfielder who has played for clubs like Salzburg and Lazio, he interests me less for his trophies than for that decision about which flag to fight under. For a player with roots in several countries, choosing your nation is never trivial. There is an Aquarian independence in it, a man insisting on authoring his own story. I find that quietly admirable.
Overview
Valon Berisha (born 7 February 1993) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Swiss Super League club Zürich and the Kosovo national team. Born in Sweden and raised in Norway, he previously represented Norway at youth and full international level.
