5 current footballers who are eligible to represent Kosovo

Kosovo was officially recognised by FIFA in May

2) Valon Behrami

Valon Behrami played his part in the 0-0 draw with France which secured Switzerland’s place in the knockout phase

You don't come across a player who has played for five different Serie A clubs often. Valon Behrami's Italian club career includes Genoa, Verona, Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli. He has settled into Italian football so well that he recently said that he would like a return to the top flight of Italy after his current contract at Watford expires.

He is no stranger to the Premier League either as he joined West Ham United in 2008 becoming an integral part of the side managed by Alan Curbishley who resigned after the closure of the summer window that year.

The 31-year-old Swiss midfielder is known for his versatility and defensive workrate which was at its peak during a group stage match against Ecuador in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

His Euro 2016 highlights include qualification from the group stages, a standout performance against France and a burst ball.
