Queens Park Rangers sign Ariel Borysiuk from Legia Warsaw
QPR have signed midfielder Ariel Borysiuk from Legia Warsaw for an undisclosed fee.
The 24 year old Poland international has agreed a three-year contract at Loftus Road and is Rangers’ first signing of the summer.
Borysiuk started his career at Legia and returned there in January following spells at Lechia Gdansk and German side Kaiserslautern.
The defensive midfielder made 13 league appearances last season to help Legia win the Polish top division, the Ekstraklasa, for a record 18th time.
He is also the club’s youngest ever goalscorer after scoring against Odra Wodzisław at the age of 16 years and 265 days.
Borysiuk has also won 10 caps for Poland but was not included in Adam Nawałka’s 23-man squad for the European Championship in France.
“I am very delighted to join QPR,” he told the Championship club’s website.
“I had some options, but when I was young I dreamed about playing in England and when there was an option with QPR, I didn’t need much time to think about it.
“I am a player who gives 100% in every game. I think English fans like players like this. I am a big fan of English football. This is a great step forward for me.”
