This is a list of players you didn’t know had played for Basel:
The man who is probably the best footballer in the world right now began his elite sports career at Basel. He later went to England, then to Italy and then returned to the Premier League, until today he is what he is.
Perhaps not as surprising as others because he is Swiss, but the vast majority believe that he started his career at Bayern Munich. A footballer with conditions far superior to his performance.
The Ecuadorian has played for many teams throughout the world in different leagues, but perhaps one of the least remembered is Basel. Goals in abundance with each shirt he has defended.
This is one of the most amazing. His explosion at the media level when he was transferred from Schalke 04 to Sevilla. He grew up in the youth ranks of the Swiss club and in his first season in professional football he scored 11 goals for Basel.
His first team in European football was Basel, where he spent four seasons and became one of the club’s most important footballers. Second Egyptian on the list.
As with Mohamed Elneny, another midfielder who excelled at Basel ended up playing for Arsenal. Granit Xhaka has always been a highly criticized footballer, but he has completed a successful career being one of the leaders of his club and his national team.
Finally we find the one who was one of the best goalkeepers of the last European Championship. His save recital against the Spanish team in the quarterfinals will go down in the history of international tournaments.
