      Club Career

      Arsenal

      Hajrović officially signed professional terms on 7 July 2011 after signing for Arsenal as a scholar in the summer of 2009, arriving from Grasshopper in his home country.

      He went on loan to Barnet and made his debut on 28 January 2012 against Crewe Alexandra, coming on as a substitute.[1] Although his spell with Barnet was hampered somewhat by injury, he made 10 appearances as the Bees avoided relegation from League Two. On 4 December 2012, Hajrović was included in Arsenal's trip to Olympiacos as an unused substitute.

      In May 2013, Hajrović decided to leave Arsenal and look for a different team where he plans to start regularly.
