Description:

Patryk Prajsnar is considered to be one of the most talented U17s in Poland. He joined the Lech Poznań youth academy from Beniaminek Krosno in 2022. On 3 August 2024, he made his debut for Lech reserve team in the Polish 4th tier game against Pogoń Nowe Skalmierzyce. Patryk is also a regular youth international and the leader of the Polish generation 2009.

Quotes:

“His strengths definitely include understanding and reading the game. He knows what he wants to do with the ball and without it, and how to position himself, which is hard to teach. Many young players have varying degrees of talent, but this player is characterized by great determination, without which it is difficult to achieve anything. He is also aware of his weaknesses and the fact that he still has significant potential to develop. For instance, regarding his first touch or the speed of play, but I have no doubt that he will work hard on these aspects and, as a result, become a better player.”
