2. His father, Agim Cana, was also a footballer and part of Albania's Golden Generation.

3. After the family moved to Switzerland, Cana junior started out at FC Lausanne Sport. He showed early talent and was reportedly spotted by Arsene Wenger at just 16, only for visa issues to prevent a potential switch to Arsenal.
