Arbër Zeneli

In November 2018, Arbër Zeneli scored a hat-trick for Kosovo against Azerbaijan in the UEFA Nations League. By March 2023 he had 33 caps and nine goals for Kosovo, which puts him among the most capped and highest-scoring players in the national team's early years.

He did not start out with Kosovo. Zeneli came through the youth ranks at IF Elfsborg and represented Sweden at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level. In the 2011 Swedish Under-17 Championship he scored the winning goal in the final. After his senior debut in 2014 he won the 2013–14 Svenska Cupen. In 2015 he was in Sweden's 23-man squad that won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, though he did not play. His Kosovo debut came on 6 October 2016, in a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Croatia.

Elfsborg sold him to SC Heerenveen in November 2015 for €2 million. He made his debut there in January 2016 and was named man of the match in a 3–1 win over Willem II. In January 2019 he moved to Stade de Reims for €4 million and stayed until 2023.

The next move went badly. He joined Adana Demirspor in the Turkish Süper Lig on a free transfer in August 2023. In January 2024 he terminated his contract over unpaid wages and filed a complaint with FIFA, which he won. The case delayed his return to European football.

In March 2024 Zeneli went back to Elfsborg, again on a free transfer, on a contract running until 31 December 2027.
