He's single and can be as rowdy as he wants. Spotted in Mykonos, Greece, he's enjoying his ATV. Cars are boring is the message he's trying to communicate.

Italy is becoming more open to the idea of recruiting footballing talent from lesser-known countries in the world. The fact that Serie A is not the top league in the World in terms of money has begun to sink in. Clubs like Napoli are looking at value options in countries like North Macedonia, and that's how they discovered our midfielder here. He was playing in the Turkish League with Fenerbahçe when Napoli found him. This 20-year-old plays as a central midfielder, but he's more suited in an advanced role. Nicknamed Spider for his long legs, he's got the flair of a South American player. His feel for the ball and his ball control skills are commendable. He has a good long shot and could be aggressive on the pitch, which is why he has been playing as a number 8, or sometimes even as a number 6 in Naples. Born in Skopje, Macedonia, to parents of Turkish origin, he began playing football with Rabotnički. It was only logical that some Turkish team would notice him. It was Fenerbahçe, which eventually landed him in Italy with Napoli. Eligible to play for Turkey too, he chose to represent the country of his birth instead, North Macedonia, after having donned their colors as a youth player.
