Shani Tarashaj is a Swiss footballer of Albanian origin who currently plays as a striker for Grasshopper Club Zürich.[1]
Club career
Tarashaj was born 7 February 1995 in Hausen am Albis, Switzerland and has Albanian parents from Prizren, Kosovo. He grew up in youth teams of Grasshopper Club Zürich.[2] Tarashaj made his Swiss Super League debut at 2 August 2014 against FC Sion. He replaced Alexander Merkel after 73 minutes in a goalless draw. [3] After a relatively disappointing first season as a professional, Tarashaj enjoyed a fine start to the 2015/16 season, scoring 5 goals in his first 4 games. This included two braces against FC Zurich and FC Lugano, respectively. On the 22nd of September 2015, Grasshopper confirmed that Tarashaj had renewed his contract, which had been due to expire in the summer of 2016, until 2019.
International
Albania's coach Gianni de Biasi declared to the media in August 2015 that Tarashaj will be an important player for Albania in the future and that he has him in his plans.[4]
Current Career
It is rumoured that Tarashaj will transfer to Everton F.C for a fee believed to be in the region of £3 million. He will be loaned back to his previous club until the end of the season if the deal goes ahead.
