Danel Sinani (Serbian Cyrillic: Данел Синани; born 5 April 1997) is a Luxembourgish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Belgian club Waasland-Beveren, on loan from Norwich City.

Club career

Sinani played club football in Luxembourg for Racing FC Union Luxembourg before joining F91 Dudelange in 2017.[3][4] With the latter, he won two Luxembourg National Division titles and the Luxembourg Cup.[5] In November 2018, he scored against Olympiacos the first ever goal for a Luxembourgish club in the group stage of a major European competition.[5] In 2019, Sinani was given the Luxembourg Footballer of the Year award. It was his first award of the trophy, known as the Wanderpokal Challenge Guy Greffrath (Challenge Guy Greffrath Challenge Cup).[6] In the summer of 2019, Sinani was offered a move to R.E. Virton, who play in the Belgian league, but he refused the deal.[7] Later in the year, he scored two goals in a Europa League match against five time Europa League winners Sevilla.[5][8] As of 2020, he has scored 13 goals in UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches.[5] Sinani has scored 14 goals in 16 appearances in the 2019–20 Luxembourg National Division,[9] nine goals in the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, and 24 goals in 30 matches in all competitions.[10]

In April 2020, he signed for Norwich City for the 2020–21 season.[11] His contract is until 2023,[9] and he is the first Luxembourgish Norwich City player.[12] In August 2020, Sinani was loaned to Belgian club Waasland-Beveren for the season.[13]

International career

He made his international debut for Luxembourg in 2017.[3] Kosovo approached Sinani about representing them internationally, as his parents are from Dragaš. Sinani refused the meeting to discuss it, as he sees Luxembourg as his home.[14] Sinani scored three goals for Luxembourg during their 2018–19 UEFA Nations League D campaign.[5]

Personal life

Sinani was born in Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia to ethnic Gorani parents from Dragaš. He moved to Luxembourg along with his family at the age of 5.[15]
