RKC Waalwijk striker Zawada high on Eredivisie wishlists

Oskar Zawada is high on FC Groningenโ€™s wishlist for this summer, according to the Dagblad van het Noorden. The 29-year-old RKC Waalwijk striker is a key candidate to strengthen FC Groningenโ€™s attacking line, although technical director Mo Allach is unwilling to comment on the rumours.

FC Groningen unveiled its first summer signing on Monday: Younes Taha, who is on loan from FC Twente for one season. Zawada is expected to become the clubโ€™s second acquisition. The striker is โ€œhigh on FC Groningenโ€™s wishlist,โ€ the paper says. However, there are several contenders for Zawadaโ€™s signature, including SC Heerenveen.

Speaking to the Dagblad van het Noorden, Allach declined to confirm his interest in Zawada. The strikerโ€™s contract in Waalwijk runs until mid-2026. Last season, he scored nine goals in 20 Eredivisie matches.

โ€œWhether Zawadaโ€™s potential arrival means FC Groningen will be selling attackers this summer remains uncertain,โ€ the statement reads.

Allach is busy with incoming transfers at Groningen, but heโ€™s hesitant to say whether players will be presented soon. โ€œSometimes things move very slowly and then suddenly gain momentum. You canโ€™t predict that,โ€ he explains.

โ€œAs technical director, I throw out the lines, and they throw them at me. And sometimes theyโ€™re suddenly cut again. Iโ€™m not the ugliest, but I still get rejected a lot. All technical directors recognise that.โ€
