Besian Idrizaj (born October 12, 1987 in Baden bei Wien, near Vienna) is an Austrian left winger who plays for Luton Town on loan from Liverpool F.C.. He was signed from LASK Linz in the summer of 2005 on a two year contract, following a trial spell. He was Austria's young player of the year 2004–05.
Idrizaj declared "I have always been a Liverpool fan and it is a dream come true to play for them. If you get a chance to go to Liverpool on trial then you have to take it. You cannot ignore a trial with the reigning Champions League winners. I would even have swam across the channel just to take part."
Unfortunately 2005–06 was interrupted by injuries, however Idrizaj is expected to be a regular member of Gary Ablett and Hughie McAuley's reserve squad for the 2006–07 season. Idrizaj made his debut for the first team in a pre-season friendly against Wrexham on 15 July 2006. He played the first 45 minutes unfront in a striker role alongside fellow debutant Craig Bellamy.
On March 16, 2007, Idrizaj went on loan to Championship team Luton Town, until the end of the 2006-2007 season.[1] He made his English league debut with them the day after, but was substituted after 46 minutes.[2]
