Elvir Maloku

Elvir Mehdi Maloku (born 14 May 1996) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a winger for German Oberliga Niedersachsen club BSV Schwarz-Weiß Rehden.

In February 2013, Maloku had a successful trial at Italian giants Juventus FC but talks over potential signing were ultimately called off.

When Damir Burić took over the club in 2015, Maloku made his way into the first lineup but after some bad performances, he was benched again and used as a substitute.

On 18 July 2016, Maloku signed a four-year contract with Spanish Segunda División club Gimnàstic de Tarragona.

[10] He was called up for the friendly matches against Kazakhstan and Sweden on 12 and 16 June 2015 respectively, but his appearance for the team was thwarted by club duties with Hajduk Split.

In a press conference later, Bushi stated that Maloku would be given the Albanian citizenship to make him eligible for Albania U21 in the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification.
