Lech Poznań signs transfer hit!
Lech Poznań will not participate in the Champions League this season, but in Wielkopolska, they believe that in the fall, they will need to combine the game on the league and cup fronts. It's no surprise that fans can celebrate the signing of a very important player. Gustav Berggren will be the one to aspire to. "Gustav Berggren has become a player of Lech Poznań on Wednesday. The 28-year-old midfielder joins the Polish champions on a permanent transfer from the American MLS team New York Red Bulls. He signed a three-year contract with the Polish champions, which will be valid until June 30, 2029" - we read on the official website of the club from the capital of Wielkopolska. - He will definitely bring experience from playing in Ekstraklasa and European cups. He has the potential to be one of the leaders on the field and in the locker room. In our team, he will strengthen the competition in the midfield, which is important, and he is ready to take on the challenges immediately, as he played in the current MLS season - said Tomasz Rząsa, the sports director of the club, who is quoted by the club's media. Berggren is a man who is well-known to Ekstraklasa fans. He played 105 games in Raków Częstochowa. He won the championship in this club, scored five goals, and recorded seven assists. The Swede moved to MLS after a good game under Jasna Góra, but he played only 19 games in New York Red Bulls. Lech Poznań will play the return match of the III round of the Europa League against Klaksvik on Thursday. In the first match in Poznań, Lech won 1:0 thanks to the goal of the reserve Yannick Agnero. One of the big problems of the Polish champions in this match was the performance of the midfield. Who knows? Maybe in the second half of the season, Berggren will be the solution to the problems of "Kolejorza".
What's next?
Lech Poznań will continue to fight for the championship title in this season. We are currently leading the Ekstraklasa with a 4-point advantage over Górnik Zabrze. In the last match against Wisła Plock, we drew 2:2. In the last 5 matches, we have not lost, and the last result was a 2:2 draw with Wisła Plock.
What did the sports director say?
The sports director of Lech Poznań, Tomasz Rząsa, said that Berggren will be a strengthening of the midfield and that he has the potential to be one of the leaders on the field and in the locker room.
