Saints are spreading their net behind the old Iron Curtain to scout a midfielder from Cracovia Krakow according to a media report.

Club Call are reporting that Saints sent a scout to watch Cracovia Krakow's 19 year old midfielder Bartosz Kapustka at the weekend, watching him score in the game against Gornik Zabrze in a 3-0 win.

According to the Club Call story the Saints scout was seen making notes after Kapustka scored the opening goal after 3 minutes of play and then watched him star in the victory, significantly the scout is alleged to have shut his notebook and left when Kapustka was substituted near the end of the game.

Described as an attacking midfelder with an eye for goal although Saints have a plethora of central midfielders, they do not have anyone in this mould.

Kapustka earned his first cap for the full Poland International side back in September, scoring on his debut and has since won another 2 caps and netted another goal.

He is expected to be in the Poland squad for Euro 16 and is tipped to be one of the stars of the tournament for Poland.

Turkish side Galatasaray are reported to have had a £3 million bid for the player turned down last month with reports that Kapustka himself did not fancy Turkey and would prefer a move to either England or Germany as his club prepare to cash in on him.

SaintBrock added 15:13 - Feb 17 Nick, Poland is a Member of the European Union with the same status as the UK. For goodness sake man get a grip and let go of your old fashioned prejudices and arrogance. Some of the stuff you write down is indefensible and bordering racist.

Zambucco added 20:42 - Feb 17 SaintBrock how on earth was that even remotely racist? "Behind the old iron curtain" the plain truth, maybe an unnecessary description, slightly dramatic, but accurate all the same. On paper sounds like a player for the future

TimSaint added 11:08 - Feb 18 His name is somewhat unfortunate, as Kapustka basically translates to CABBAGE !! Without wating to be accused of being racist, perhaps it is fitting for a Pole to be called this, as cabbage USED to be their staple diet and they are famed for their cabbage soups !! :-)
