Klaus Fatmir Gjasula (born 14 December 1989) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Darmstadt 98.[2]
Club career[edit]
Ahead of the 2020–21 season Gjasula moved to Hamburger SV from SC Paderborn, signing a two-year contract.[3] In the first two league games, head coach Daniel Thioune played him in a 4-2-3-1 formation alongside Amadou Onana in defensive midfield. In the 4–3 win in the second league game of the season against his former club Paderborn, Gjasula conceded two goals within a few minutes due to individual mistakes.[4] In the following seven matches he would only appear as a substitute. In December, Gjasula returned to the starting line-up, but then suffered a torn inner ligament in his left knee during practice around the turn of the year.[5] Gjasula made his comeback on 12 March 2021, when he came on as a substitute in the 90th minute in 0–2 away win over VfL Bochum.[6]
International career[edit]
Gjasula made his Albania national football team debut on 7 September 2019 in a Euro 2020 qualifier against France, when he substituted Ylber Ramadani in the 53rd minute and was cautioned in the remaining time.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Gjasula was born in the capital of Albania, Tirana and raised in Freiburg, Germany. He holds both Albanian and German citizenship.[8][9] His older brother Jürgen Gjasula is a footballer who plays as a attacking midfielder.
