#3 Donis Avdijaj rejected many clubs

Avdijaj reveals Arsenal interest during his teenage days

Former Schalke starlet Donis Avdijaj has stated that he had rejected a plethora of Premier League clubs during his time in the youth ranks of Schalke.

Avdijaj was one of the most coveted youngsters in his teenage years and has now revealed that the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal were monitoring him.

He also added that staying sane amid such circumstances was very difficult for him.

“In my youth, I scored more than 20 goals each season. I also scored 13 times in the junior national team in 13 games and I thought it would go on like this as a professional as well,” he said.

“Not going crazy in such a phase is much harder than going crazy. Before signing for Schalke, I had offers from Juventus, Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool. No matter what game or tournament, scouts were always there to watch me.”
