"For any club to stump up 9m for your services, you must have done something right. And Cvancara - capped eight times - did plenty right at Sparta. At his best in the Czech top flight, the 6ft 3in forward used his presence, pace and power to devastating effect, while he was also clinical. Netting 24 times in 39 starts, a goals-per-minute ratio of around 131, triggered interest from Gladbach, who brought Cvancara to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2023."
"The forward's career stalled in Germany, though, scoring just eight goals in 54 appearances, most of which have come from the bench. But his time at Gladbach will be remembered most for being at the centre of an extraordinary team dispute at the end of a challenging season last year. It was claimed that Cvancara was a disruptive influence in the dressing room and that his team-mates had demanded he was excluded from the squad."
Tomas Cvancara moved from Sparta Prague to Borussia Monchengladbach for around £9m after scoring 24 goals in 49 games for Sparta. He is 25 and won eight international caps. At Sparta he combined presence, pace and power, scoring 24 times in 39 starts with a goals-per-minute ratio around 131. His time at Gladbach yielded eight goals in 54 appearances, mostly from the bench. A reported dressing-room dispute saw team-mates demand his exclusion and he expressed unhappiness and a desire to go out on loan. A failed loan at Antalyaspor ended amid a wages dispute. Celtic are pursuing a medical as a move nears.
