Aleksandar Prijović (Aлeкcaндap Пpиjoвић; born April 21, 1990 in St. Gallen ) is a Swiss- born football player of Serbian descent who plays for the Serbian national football team. In his career so far he has been under contract in Switzerland, England, Norway, Sweden, Turkey, Poland and Greece.

Career in the club

Prijović started his career at FC St. Gallen , the club in his hometown, but moved to Italy at the age of 16, where he joined FC Parma . On April 27, 2008 he played his first professional game against Reggina Calcio . It was also his only one in the Parma jersey. On August 7, 2008, the change to the English second division Derby County was announced. There he was not used, so he was loaned to Yeovil Town and then to Northampton Town . In the latter, he was able to prevail and played ten games in the second half and scored two goals.

In February 2010 Prijović moved to FC Sion , where he was initially mainly used as a substitute. After his first goal for the club as a "joker" on the first day of the 2010/11 championship , he briefly gained a regular place alongside Giovanni Sio , Michael Dingsdag and Goran Obradović . However, since he had not prevailed in the long term and at the beginning of the following year fluctuated between starting eleven and substitute bench, he left the club in the autumn on loan to FC Lausanne-Sport . Here, too, he could not establish himself as a regular player, he only played ten games in total until the end of the season and remained without a goal.

In early August 2012, Prijović moved on loan to the Norwegian club Tromsø IL in the Tippeligaen . Here he became a hero when, with his decisive goal, he won 1-0 away at Metalurh Donetsk in the third qualifying round of the 2012/13 Europa League after a 1-1 draw with goals from Zdeněk Ondrášek and Đorđe Lazić in the first leg enabled promotion to the play-off round.

In the summer of 2013, Prijović joined the Swedish club Djurgårdens IF , where he signed a contract valid until 2015. There he met Per-Mathias Høgmo , who had already trained him in Norway. By the end of the season, he scored five goals in ten games. In the 2014 season , under the new coach Per Olsson , he fluctuated between starting line-up and substitute bench until the summer, ultimately scoring five times in 17 games.

Shortly before the end of the transition period in August 2014, Prijović left Sweden and switched to Boluspor in Turkey . With this club he became one of the best strikers in the TFF 1st Lig . He finished the Turkish second division 2014/15 season with 16 goals together with Mert Nobre as second on the list of goalscorers.

Despite his successful debut in Turkish football, Prijović moved to the Polish club KP Legia Warsaw for the season . In January 2017 he moved to PAOK Thessaloniki .

Career in the national team

First Prijović, whose parents come from Serbia, joined the Serbian junior national team. But in 2010 he decided to play for Switzerland, the country in which he grew up. Prijović was part of the Swiss U20 and U21 national team, but later moved back to Serbia. He made his debut for the Serbian national team in a 1-1 draw in the World Cup qualifier against Wales on June 11, 2017, when he came on for Filip Kostić in the 67th minute . Since this was a competitive game, it was no longer possible to switch back to the Swiss association from this point on. Prijović scored his first international goal in a 1-0 win over Georgia on October 9, 2017.

With Serbia he took part in the 2018 World Cup in Russia. In the 1-0 win against Costa Rica in the first group game, he came on a brief appearance when he came on for Aleksandar Mitrović shortly before the end of the game . Serbia retired after the preliminary round as third in the group.
