He should become a new reinforcement of the Italian Spezia, which announced the arrival of the Slovak striker Dávid Strelec a few hours ago.

We agreed that we will continue to deal with it according to the result. phase of the Conference League, negotiations have reopened, ” sports manager Karol Belaník told the club website.

“Jakub was selected as a left-footed tracker on the defense of the Italian team and it is possible that the other result of Spezia facilitated the negotiations. He did excellent service, was a pillar of the defense and we could rely on his performance. That’s why we want to wish him good luck and we believe that he will get the promised chance in Serie A as well, “ added Belaník.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for “Two years that I was able to spend here. We did a lot of work and it was a great time for me. I believe that a quality robot will continue in Žilina and it will prosper without me. I wish we would meet somewhere in European cups.” said Kiwior, who came to the “yellow-green” in August 2019 from the second league Podbrezová and played 61 matches for two years in the MŠK, in which he scored four goals and added five assists.
