(Reuters) – Borussia Moenchengladbach have signed Czech Republic forward Tomas Cvancara from Sparta Prague on a five-year contract, the Bundesliga club said on Friday.
The clubs have not disclosed the transfer fee but reports said the amount was around 10 million euros ($11.24 million).
“Tomas is a striker that poses a real threat on goal, coupled with plenty of pace,” Gladbach sporting director Roland Virkus said in a statement.
“He’s still young but has been playing professionally for several years and broke into the Czech Republic national team this season.”
The 22-year-old made his Czech Republic debut scoring a goal in a Euro 2024 qualifying 3-1 win over Poland in March.
Cvancara started his professional career at Czech top-flight side Jablonec in February 2018 before moving to Prague in January 2022, where he played nearly 50 games and scored 24 goals in all competitions.
