Ok..maybe it's time to feel excited.

Sevilla, Villareal, Inter and Juve are very very bloody good clubs. That's a great list to have beaten to a signing. From that article it reads like Martinez sees this lad as the future of our left hand side. Obviously a good chance it won't work out like that, but promising all the same.

Plus, he's of Balkan Muslim heritage so Besic and him will be best buds.

YESSS
 

Take the 'beaten juve and inter' with a pinch of salt. All that really means is that some media had linked them to him at some point, they don't have a clue as to whether bids were officially placed.

Clickbait headline tbh.
 
I read this on transfermarkt.de from a Grasshoppers fan, this is my translation of his assessment.

"Tarashaj is definitely talented and I am glad we can keep him for until the rest of the season, since our squad is low on numbers. Yet, Shani is nowhere near ready for the Premier League, let alone anything above the level of the Super League, and he won't be in the summer either.

He made his first appearances last season and he seldom managed to put in a commanding display then, albeit he didn't get a lot of chances. This season he had a place in the starting 11 from the beginning, since there were only even younger players left in the centre forward position behind Dabbur. He has benefited a lot from Dabbur's, Caio's and Ravet's offensive play with Källström behind them and has also scored a few goals. Still, he has always contributed a lot less to the games compared to the others. He cannot retain a ball with his back against the goal (he's not particularly big or strong either), the balls bounce up too often at handling the ball, even some of the simplest passes don't get to their intended destination and with these mistakes he has quite often destroyed the otherwise attractive offensive game of his teammates. But nevertheless he's had 2-3 good moves in most games which resulted also in him scoring 7 goals. But after his excellent start to the season, he stopped scoring and thus had to sit down on the bench a couple of times, because Mergim Brahimi was signed in September, an CAM who's significantly better on the ball.

As mentioned above, Shani is a talented lad. If there's enough space, he's excellent in the one on ones, he does great shimmies, he has a good pace and is a decent finisher. His attitude is good, he runs quite a bit, works a lot in defense too. He's not bad technically either, he's just sometimes a bit too rushed in his decision making, probably he hasn't got used to professional football just yet, which is not a major issue in his age with only two years in the senior league behind his back. But this is exactly why I don't see the logic behind the transfer. Naturally it is tempting if a club like Everton tries to lure you and I'll cross my fingers for him (he's a very likeable lad, he doesn't seem to be arrogant or cocky or anything), but unless something unexpected occurs, he will have absolutely no chance to play there, even though I am not quite familiar how things are in Everton's offensive lineup.

That is why I think there will be another loan deal next season and even then I am very doubtful whether he will get to a Premier League standard once. I wish him to get there, obviously, since he comes from the Grasshoppers youth ranks and maybe once he will become a Switzerland international, but that's running far too ahead."

Interesting read. I'm not going to take too much from it though. He'd get better here instantly training and being coached at a better standard for example.

See that all may be true.

But im sure a lot of players, at a young age don't look impressive until they kick on themselves. For example people who watched kane on here 12 months before he made the team said he was terrible. 12 months later was banging them in.

So he's basically Barkley but is able to score bangers and can play on the left.
