Aleksandar Prijović (Serbian Cyrillic: Aлeкcaндap Пpиjoвић; born 21 April 1990) is a Swiss footballer of Serbian descent who plays as a striker for Greek club PAOK FC.
Prijović started his career as a youth player with his home town club FC St. Gallen but moved to Italy at the age of 16 to start his football career with Italian side Parma, making the first appearance of his career as a substitute for Parma on 27 April 2008 in a match against Reggina Calcio. Prijović's contract with Parma finished at the end of the 2007/08 season and he rejected the offer of a new one-year deal with the club.
Prijović went on trial with English Championship side Derby County where he caught the eye by scoring a hat-trick as Derby's academy side beat Arsenal youth 4–1. Derby offered Prijović a two-year contract. He provisionally signed for Derby on 7 August 2008, subject to international clearance. His full signing was delayed by issues over international clearance, firstly following disagreements over the player's registration which was sorted when Derby agreed to pay Prijović's former club, Parma, an undisclosed amount as compensation and then by the Swiss army, who made Prijović return home to complete his spell with them. On 27 January 2009, Prijović joined League One Yeovil Town on a months loan, playing four times before returning early due to illness.
On 16 March, Prijović joined Northampton Town on loan for a month. He made his debut in the 4–0 win over and impressed the fans. He scored his first professional goal in the 3–2 defeat to Southend United. He then scored his second in the 3–1 victory away at Leyton Orient.
