Swansea City can confirm that the agent of young striker Besian Idrizaj has informed the club that the striker has sadly passed away.
It is understood that the popular 22-year-old died in his sleep on Friday night while at home with his family in Austria.
The exact cause of death has not been confirmed and our thoughts are with his family, friends and team-mates at this time.
The Swans signed the former Liverpool striker and Austrian Young Player of the Year on a two-year deal in August from FC Eilenburg in Germany.
While he never played a first-team game for the Anfield club, he enjoyed loan spells at Luton Town (2006/07) and Crystal Palace (2007/08).
Awful news

Heard about that just after half time in the Aldershot game.
Horrible thing to happen
Remember when Foe collapsed on the pitch, awful stuff.
Crazy though, these people are at the peak of their fitness, and that stuff happens.
I know they often blame the extra strain on their hearts, but I don't believe that should happen

Poor guy I remember him well. He was good. Scored on his debut for us I think.
RIP
