Daily Newswatch: June 23, 2009

The news today heavily leans towards the Ekstraklasa...

- Legia Warszawa will be without their top striker Takesure Chinyama for the next 6-8 weeks. The striker from Zimbabwe had an operation on his knee and will miss the first few games for Legia this season, including the 2nd round of qualifying for the UEFA Europe League. This means Director Miroslaw Trzeciak will have to get moving on the potential transfers of Marek Saganowski and/or Marcin Mieciel. Both strikers have been heavily rumoured to be headed to Lazienkowkska this summer.

- Wisla Krakow look set to make their first transfer of the summer, in the form of Slovakian Miroslav Bozok. The 24-year old midfielder, who plays for MFK Ruzomberok, is about 90% there, with only some medical tests to be done. However, the player warns that there are still other foreign clubs interested in him...

- Fellow Slovak Robert Vittek has come out and fully endorsed Ludovic Obraniak as a potential Polish NT player. Vittek, who plays with Obraniak at OSC Lille, said, "Obraniak has the potential to be the leader of your national team. My advice is simple: take Obraniak!" Here's hoping PZPN does not fumble this one up...

- Lech Poznan have picked up another striker from the lower leagues in the hopes of striking gold again (a la Robert Lewandowski). 22-year old Tomasz Mikołajczak from Nielba Wagrowiec was the Second League's leading goal scorer, netting 18 goals.
