Blerim Dzemaili is a Swiss professional footballer who plays for Bologna as a midfielder.

In his time in Serie A, Dzemaili differed from most other midfielders in his more box-to-box role in the attacking midfield. He is good at timing his runs and getting into the box unmarked. Otherwise, Dzemaili has a decent shot and great passing range, usually completing around 90% of passes per game.

Dzemaili began his senior career with Zurich. In the 2004–05 season, he helped the club win the Swiss Cup. Dzemaili led his team to glory as Zurich won the Swiss Super League in the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons. After winning the Swiss cup and league, Dzemaili moved to Premier League side Bolton Wanderers. Dzemaili joined Torino on a season-long loan deal, with an option to purchase outright, on 1 September 2008. After having played just once for Torino at Coppa Italia, Dzemaili completed a loan move to Parma on 31 August 2009. On 25 June 2011, Dzemaili was signed by Napoli for €9 million. Dzemaili had appeared regularly for the side in the Coppa Italia, and played the entire match in the final in which they defeated Juventus 2–0. On 1 September 2014, Dzemaili signed a three-year contract with Turkish Super Lig team Galatasaray for a €2.35 million transfer fee. On 17 August 2016, Dzemaili returned to Italy again for Bologna. On 9 May 2017, he joined MLS team Montreal Impact on loan.

Dzemaili made his debut for the Switzerland national team in March 2006 and was selected for their squads at the FIFA World Cup in 2006 and 2014. Dzemaili was part of the squad in Euro 2016 and 2018 World Cup qualification.
