Olaf Kobacki, a 22-year-old left winger, is apparently up for transfer, with Derby County facing Norwich City.
Because to his season-ending 13 goals and 5 assists for Arka Gdynia in 32 games last season, Kobacki has been drawing attention from scouts in the Polish second division.
The local media stated that “the bitterness was enormous” and that “in the situation of playing another year in the second division, Arka must save budget and the sale of its most valuable players is inevitable.” However, his club must sell this summer after failing to win promotion to the top flight.
According to reports, Kobacki “has already been sold to a Championship club,” and according to Interia Sport, Norwich and Derby have made approaches. The player may find it difficult to obtain an automatic work visa to play in the UK, although Derby may utilise one of their wild card slots for an international signing. Atalanta is also thought to have a buy-back option after allowing the player to depart Italy two years ago.
Kobacki played youth football for Poland after rising through the ranks at Lech Poznan. Before permanently joining Arka, he spent five years with Atalanta, including a period during which he was loaned to the team.
After scoring 15 goals for Arka, 24-year-old striker Karol Czubak has also been connected to a move to the Championship; however, his departure is seen “less likely” because he recently became a father and is reportedly unwilling to relocate.
