Jürgen Fatmir Gjasula (born 5 December 1985) is an Albanian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Berliner AK 07.

He also holds German citizenship.

Born in Tirana, Albania, Gjasula started his career in the town where he grew up at SC Freiburg in Germany in 2002.

At the age of 17 he was put into the first team but did not make any appearances.

Gjasula signed for 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 2004 and made it a total of seven appearances in one season.

In 2005, Gjasula was loaned in club FC St. Gallen on Swiss Super League.

At first season with St Gallen, he became a box-to-box goalscoring threat and typical number 10 so he signed a contract in 2006.

On 2 June 2008, it was announced that Gjasula, as a free agent, had signed for Swiss Champions FC Basel.

He joined Basel's first team for their 2008–09 season under head coach Christian Gross.

Playing in his fifth pre-season game, Gjasula scored his first goal for Basel on 10 July 2008 in the Uhren Cup.

It was the first goal of the game as Basel won 6–1 against Legia Warsaw.

He scored his next goal in the next Uhren Cup match on 12 July, as Basel played a 2–2 draw with Borussia Dortmund to win the Uhren Cup that year.

Gjasula played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Stade de Suisse, Wankdorf on 18 July as Basel won 2–1 against Young Boys.

Basel joined the 2008–09 UEFA Europa League in the second qualifying round.

Gjasula played his first European game in a Basel shirt on 30 July 2008 in a 1–1 Champions League Qualifying match draw against IFK Göteborg at Ullevi.

In the 2008–09 Swiss Cup Basel advanced via Schötz 1–0, Bulle 4–1 (one goal Gjasula), Thun 4–0 (one goal Gjasula) and Zurich 1–0 to the semi-finals.

But here they were stopped by Young Boys.

After a goalless 90 minutes and extra time YB decided the match in the penalty shoot-out 3–2.

Here Gjasula was one of three Basel players who didn't hit the target with their spot-kicks.

YB advanced to the final to become runners-up, as Sion became cup winners.

At the end of the 2008–09 Super League season Basel were third in the table, seven points behind new champions Zürich and one adrift of runners-up Young Boys.

However, as the season progressed, Gjasula became less and less playing time.

On 18 June 2009, his contract was terminated by the club, after the newly appointed manager Thorsten Fink decided to plan without him.

During his time with the club, Gjasula played a total of 43 games for Basel scoring a total of nine goals.

19 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, five in the Swiss Cup, four in the Champions League and 15 were friendly games.

He scored two goals in the domestic league, two in the cup and the other five were scored during the test games.

Gjasula stayed by the club, with individual training, to keep fit, until he found a new club.

At the end of August it was announced that he had found a new employer.

Gjasula signed on 31 August 2009 for FSV Frankfurt where he made it a total of 60 appearances and scored nine goals in two seasons with club.

In July 2011, he signed for MSV Duisburg.

On 5 July 2013, Gjasula signed with Bulgarian club Litex Lovech, rejoining his compatriot and fellow Albanian international player Armando Vajushi.

He quickly established himself as a crucial player in the squad, providing several goals for the surprisingly magnificent start of the club.

Gjasula scored the third goal from the penalty spot in the 2–4 away victory on 20 October 2013 against Ludogorets Razgrad.

Litex finished first stage of the 2013–14 season as runners-up.
