Raja Of The Alps
Chicken Wings centreback Raja Ameer Aswad secured a free transfer to Swiss VI.886 side FC Gaiserwald after a month of searching, and credited his agent for making the move possible. "It's a bad job market out there everywhere, and I have to thank my father for making this investment."
Frankly, however, the 18 year-old Raja is hardly undeserving of such a move, with his imposing 1.83m height coupled with well above-average defensive abilities having distinguished him in the youth setup. "He was somebody the rest of us really looked up to." current Young Player of the Season Mick Abraham said. "It's great to see Raja get an in!"
This comes a day after FC Gaiserwald had sold midfielder Gibbes Goebels after a so-so one and a half season stint, which Raja saw as reflecting the club's commitment to their players. "They don't churn men as quickly as some others do, that's for certain."
