Idrizaj Signing Completed

Last updated : 25 August 2009 By Sam
The Austrian-born 21-year-old forward has signed a two-year contract at the Liberty Stadium after The Swans received international clearance for Idrizaj who was plying his trade with German side FC Eilenburg last season.

"We are delighted that he has signed," said Swans boss Paulo Sousa.

"He is a player I have been aware of from his time at Liverpool and with the Austrian international set-up.

"Besian has good characteristics and can play anywhere along the front line so I believe that he will be a great asset.

"He is a young player with good talent but has not played for a long time in competitive football.

"It will take him time to adjust to the intensity of our league.

"But he is now available for selection straight away and we are happy to be able to give him another chance at this level."
