Astrit Ajdarević (born 17 April 1990) is a Swedish professional footballer of Albanian descent playing as an attacking midfielder for AEK Athens.
Born in Pristina, Kosovo, to Kosovar-Albanian parents with origin from Medveđa, he moved with his family to Sweden in 1992. His father Agim Ajdarević was a member of FK Spartak Subotica in the Yugoslav First League in the 1980s and 1990s, and moved to Sweden in 1992; he later signed with Falkenbergs FF.
His younger brothers, Arben Ajdarevic and Alfred Ajdarević are also footballers.
Ajdarević began his career in 1996 in his adopted nation of Sweden. He first played for Rinia IF, and later signed with Falkenbergs FF, where he played between Winter 2006/2007.
On 5 December 2006 Ajdarević completed a second trial at Liverpool and transferred soon afterwards to the club, having impressed the club's coaching staff. He made his Liverpool youth team debut in the FA Youth Cup victory against Reading in January 2007. However, Ajdarević was unable to make a breakthrough into the first team at Liverpool, which has increasingly frustrated him.
He joined Leicester City on trial in January 2009 and signed for the Foxes on the loan signing deadline for football league clubs on 26 March 2009 until the end of that season, when the Midlands-based club had the option to sign him permanently. He made his debut as a second-half substitute replacing Max Gradel after 70 minutes of Leicester's 2–2 draw with Carlisle United at the Walkers Stadium.
