Muamer Tanković (born 22 February 1995) is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward or as a second striker for Dutch club AZ.
Tanković played for IFK Norrköping but he never made his full debut for the Allsvenskan club, only appearing as an unused substitute on a few occasions. While at Norrköping, Tanković went on trial with German side Hamburger SV, with help from his agent, Fabio Alho. He quickly made a name of himself, scoring five goals. Tanković was also linked with Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus.
In September 2011, he joined Fulham, aged sixteen, on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
He made his Fulham debut as an 87th-minute substitute for compatriot Alexander Kačaniklić in the FA Cup third round replay against Norwich City at Craven Cottage on 14 January 2014 and his Premier League debut on 28 January against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium, replacing Dimitar Berbatov for the last 7 minutes of a 2–0 defeat. Tanković started his first league match against Manchester United on 9 February 2014 at Old Trafford, and was substituted at half-time for Darren Bent as the game finished 2–2.
Tanković was released by Fulham in May 2014 when his contract expired.
