Lech Poznań fans claiming we have signed their 20 year old midfielder Karol Linetty. Karol will be playing his last game for Poznan tomorrow.

He was linked to us in Jan window.

Now various Poznan fans, polish fans (both Arsenal & Spurs) are claiming deal is done & source is from a Polish journo who gets everything right (apparently)

One of the Spurs fans view from Sheflside

We've just signed this lad.

It could go both ways. He became propably the best player in polish league, or at least close to, in one season. He has potential to become a great player for us. Good workrate, has his good moments of brilliance, quiet lad off field. Reminds me bit of Harry Kane - improvement-wise, as well as being that guy who doesn't get bothered by media. At least that was the case in Poland.


Reports in Poland, from a journalist that is spot on all the time. He's gonna play his last match for Lech Poznan (same club that Lewandowski came from) tomorrow. Transfer fee should be around 3,5-5,5m euros.

While this is indeed true, sometimes you get a player you propably don't even need and he turns out to be a great signing. Look at Dier - nobody expected him to be "ready", but it turned out he's our starter right now.

Linetty can be played as CM/CAM, so he could fill into Mason's role or Eriksen's, obviously being only a rotation player.

Grzegorz Krychowiak from Sevilla is a perfect example of bargain singing. Sevilla paid 5.5m euros for him, and right now he's propably worth around 20, if not more. I am not saying Linetty is a signing that will do the same, but he definitely has potential to play in our starting XI and be vital to our plans if he works hard enough.

Looks a very good player, atleast by youtube wise.
Not sure where is the spot in midfield. But I dont mind given we were so dependent on Bentaleb & Mason last term

I've translated the link:

It's practically a foregone conclusion . Karol Linetty bids farewell to Lech Poznan . Young lechita will play against Wisla Krakow their last meeting in the colors of " Kolejorz " . From the new season is expected to be Tottenham player !

The interest in "Spurs" Linettym talked for a long time. It was known that the English club is determined to transfer the star of Lech. All the time, however, remained a mystery deadline by which the club from White Hart Lane decides to carry out the transfer. Now I know that this will happen in the summer. Poznan club will lose one of their leaders, but earns a sizeable amount. Tottenham is willing to pay for lechitę several million euros. It is probably the amount of about four "bubbles".

Transfer Linettego was probably speaks in the winter. Managers footballer "Kolejorz" hosted then in London, where they agreed the details of his client moving to the English Premier League. At one point it seemed that the Roosters' decide to finalize the transfer as early as January, but it was finally agreed to wait until the end of the season. Lech wanted to Linetty helped the team in the fight for the title.

Tottenham first offer downloadable Linettego already sent last summer. Then, however, to move to the English Premier League did not decide alone footballer, who wanted to gain more experience in the Polish league. Player "Kolejorz" caught the eye of Tottenham's envoys during performances in the Polish youth national teams, where he always belonged to team leaders. At White Hart Lane will be one of those players who, in the near future will decide about the strength of the team from north London.


This part caught my naughty eye: It is probably the amount of about four "bubbles".

So what are four Greeks going for these days?

Looks interesting. I like signings like this. 'Got Mitchell written all over it'. - @thinktank

Looks classy on the ball - dare I say has touch like Modric (courtesy:youtube).
If we indeed signed him, have to wait & watch how he develops. Seems he is already in Polish national team & scored Vs Norway

I think we should invest in a dozen or so decent East Europeans, open up a training camp over there and roll them out for our away Europa League games as that's where we tend to play the most! Sorted!

I watch a lot of Polish football and this boy is going to be class. Best midfielder I have seen since Gazza. I am also a total bullshitter.

For every Modric there are Chiriches and Rebrovs.

I have watched Slask Wroclaw quite a few times as a mate supports them, bit patchy at times but there are some skilful players, slask had a winger the fans nicknamed little messi and he looked a terrific prospect..
