Newcastle United are being linked with another raid on Czech football.
Newcastle United have enjoyed great success with Martin Dubravka since his move from Sparta Prague in January, and Rafael Benitez could be making a similar move.
The Slovakian has excelled after arriving with little fanfare, and his success means Newcastle could delve back into the Czech market in January.
The Daily Mail report that Newcastle are keen to bring in Jablonec midfielder Michal Travnik, but they would face some competition from Fulham.
Travnik isn’t a headline grabber like fellow target Miguel Almiron is, but he could end up being a shrewd addition for Benitez and co.
At 24, Travnik still has room to improve, but his record this season is pretty remarkable already; in 25 outings for Jablonec this season, he has a staggering 10 goals and 10 assists.
A goalscoring midfielder who can get up and down the pitch, Travnik would be a bargain at just £4million, representing outstanding value given his record this term.
Dubravka has become a fan favourite at St James’ Park without grabbing headlines when he arrived, and Travnik could follow suit by making a similar move from the Czech Republic next month.
