Sparta Prague were strengthened by Albania midfielder Qazim Laçi. The 26-year-old arrived from Ajaccio in France and signed a multi-year contract at Letná. Sparta reported this on their website today.
“With the arrival of Qazim, we get a central midfielder who, with his different typology, will perfectly complement our existing central line and give the manager a wide range of options in the center of the team.” said sporting director Tomáš Rosicý.
“He is used to physically demanding matches in the two top French competitions. He is technically equipped, he can change the pace of the game, accelerate it and enter the opponent’s goal from the back of the pitch. He passes well and has a winning mentality.” Rosicky said.
