Should Lech Poznań Sign a Striker?
Lech Poznań is currently 1st in Ekstraklasa, 4 points ahead of Górnik Zabrze, with 62 goals scored and 45 conceded (+17 goal difference). In their last match against Wisła Plock, they drew 2-2 (2026-05-23). Their last 5 matches: 3W-2D-0L (DWWDW, most recent first). Due to the captain's injury, coach Niels Frederiksen must find another striker. Yannick Agnero, the only healthy striker, did not train with the team for over a week due to visa issues. The Danish player will have to use the emergency option and play Allahyara Sayyadmanesha on position 9. The question remains open, whether the Polish champions should hire another sniper. And again, the topic of Dawid Kownacki appears. The Lech Poznań youth product wants to remove Werder Bremen from his list of clubs. "Kownaś" returned there after a loan to Hertha Berlin (he scored 6 goals and added 2 assists in 24 matches), but the coach does not see him in the team's lineup for this season's Bundesliga. German media quote the words of director Clemens Fritz, who said that Werder is open to talks about his departure. Should Lech Poznań take advantage of the opportunity? - we asked Poznań journalists. - The transfer of Kownacki would not harm Lech - says "Głosowi Wielkopolskiemu" Józef Djaczenko from the kibicpoznanski.pl portal. - Dawid knows the club, expectations, atmosphere, he is a fairly universal striker, he may not only play on position 9. Nothing will surprise him in Poznań, he has Lech in his heart and previously contributed to the championship in 2022. In my opinion, Lech should have had a striker who could replace Ishak in a 1:1 scale. Agnero has made progress, but we know his strengths and weaknesses. Lech should be more secure on this position - adds an experienced journalist. Krzysztof Ratajczak from Radio Poznań, on the other hand, believes that Lech may surprise us with something in this transfer window. - I think that at the end of the transfer window, there may be very interesting options and people responsible for strengthening will be waiting, having a list of strikers who are potentially worth good money. Maybe Kownacki is on that list. I am curious about what will happen next. In the reserve team, there are also young strikers from the academy and we cannot forget about them - says a well-known commentator. Dawid Dobrasz from meczyki.pl also commented on Kownacki's return in the Poznań - Warszawa program. - He is definitely a player with the right quality for Lech, but I feel that there is no intention to sign Kownacki from Lech itself. Maciej Skorża really wanted him, but now there is no such advocate for his return in the club - said our former colleague.
