“It is very pleasant to return home. I am ready and determined to help the team. Two years in Italy have pushed me forward as a footballer and as a person, I feel wiser and I feel that I have learned something there. I believe that I will show it on the pitch. I want to help Slovan, to score goals, to have good numbers and to win. I am also looking forward to the white fans,” said David Strelec, who left Slovan for the Italian Serie A two years ago, but did not succeed in Spezia.

We have been working on his arrival for a long time, with David’s representatives we they’ve been in constant contact, with things moving in the last ten days, I’m really looking forward to David wearing the white jersey again.
With Spezia, we agreed on a one-year loan with an option for a permanent transfer under fixed conditions, which we agreed with the club and the player. If everything goes well, David will become a Slovan player for at least another three years after this season.
