Aleksandar Prijović

Early career

Prijović started his career as a youth player with his hometown club St. Gallen but moved to Italy at the age of 16 to start his football career with Italian side Parma, making the first appearance of his career as a substitute for Parma on 27 April 2008 in a match against Reggina. Prijović's contract with Parma finished at the end of the 2007–08 Serie A season and he rejected the offer of a new one-year deal with the club.

Derby County

Prijović went on trial with English Championship side Derby County where he caught the eye by scoring a hat-trick as Derby's academy side beat Arsenal youth 4–1. Derby offered Prijović a two-year contract. He provisionally signed for Derby on 7 August 2008, subject to international clearance. His full signing was delayed by issues over international clearance, firstly following disagreements over the player's registration which was sorted when Derby agreed to pay Prijović's former club, Parma, an undisclosed amount as compensation and then by the Swiss army, who made Prijović return home to complete his spell with them. On 27 January 2009, Prijović joined League One Yeovil Town on a months loan, playing four times before returning early due to illness. On 16 March, Prijović joined Northampton Town on loan for a month. He made his debut in the 4–0 win over Stockport County and impressed the fans. He scored his first professional goal in the 3–2 defeat to Southend United. He then scored his second in the 3–1…

Though born in Switzerland, Prijović is an ethnic Serb and chose to represent Serbia at both the U17 and U19 levels. He played six competitive games in total. He switched allegiance to Switzerland in 2010. He scored in his debut with the Switzerland under-20 side on 28 April. He collected his second cap on 6 September 2010. Prijović made his Swiss U21 debut on 10 August 2011. He also played in the next match on 1 September 2011, his only competitive under-21 match. In February 2017, Prijović made an official request to FIFA for permission to play for the Serbia national team. On 20 March, he received confirmation from FIFA that he was allowed to play for Serbia, which was confirmed by the national coach Slavoljub Muslin. On 12 May, Muslin officially confirmed that Prijović will be part of the team in the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Wales. He made his debut in the match and logged an assist for 1–1. On 9 October 2017, in the last qualification match in the group, Prijović scored his first goal with the national team (sliding in a cross from Aleksandar Mitrović) as Serbia defeated Georgia and returned to the World Cup after an eight-year drought. In June 2018, he was included in the final 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where he appeared in a match against Costa Rica.
