Ezgjan Alioski

Alioski is a versatile player, and was dubbed by Leeds United supporters as their own “Duracell Bunny”, for his high level of pace and stamina.

[4] Having joined their youth academy in 2003,[5] Alioski began his career as a left-back in the second team of Young Boys from 2010 to 2013, where he scored four goals in 57 matches.

Despite signing him as a left back, then Lugano manager Zdeněk Zeman converted Alioski into an attacking right winger and striker towards the end of the 2015–16 season.

He scored 16 goals in 34 games for Lugano and was the third top goalscorer in the league in the 2016–17 season, behind Seydou Doumbia (20) and Guillaume Hoarau (18).

[10] Alioski was a part of Leeds United's return to the Premier League in 2019–20 after a sixteen-year wait, notwithstanding three seasons played in the second tier of English football.

[11] On 6 August 2017, he made his debut in a 3–2 victory against Bolton Wanderers and created the assist for teammate Chris Wood's goal.

[23] He continued to thrive in this wing-back position throughout 2019, producing marauding runs up the left flank and scoring against Stoke City, Bolton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion to bring his Championship tally for 2018–19 to seven, until, on 22 April, in Leeds' 2–0 defeat at Brentford, Alioski was substituted after twelve minutes with a torn meniscus and missed the remainder of the season, including play-offs.

[25] Leeds United qualified for the play-offs versus sixth-placed Derby County, with Alioski's season already ended by injury.

Alioski played his first Premier League game on 19 September 2020, when he came on as a 70th-minute substitute for Patrick Bamford in the team's 4–3 home win over Fulham.

[30] He made his first Premier League start on 5 October 2020 against Manchester City,[31] coming into the first eleven in place of Jack Harrison, who was ineligible to play against his parent club.

[40] In May 2021, Alioski was selected in the final 26-man squad to represent North Macedonia at the postponed UEFA Euro 2020, marking the country's first appearance at a major tournament.

[44] He is a multilingual person who can speak Albanian, Croatian, English, French, German, Italian, Macedonian and Spanish fluently.
