Besart Berisha could be on his way back to the A-League.

According to SBS’ The World Game, Western United has emerged as the likely destination for Berisha, following a 13-month stint with Japanese side Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

He failed to score in six substitute appearances and was subsequently released by the J-League club.

Berisha, a four-time A-League winner, scored 116 goals from 186 appearances in all competitions with the Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory.

The 34-year-old Kosovo-born striker recently became an Australian citizen since becoming eligible in October 2017.
