Ladislav Krejci seen as too good for Championship as clubs monitor defender | OneFootball

Clubs will keep tabs on Ladislav Krejci this summer despite Wolverhampton Wanderers confirming a permanent deal.

"Ladislav Krejci had a very good first game, obviously got himself on the score sheet." Micky Gray was speaking on talkSPORT.

"A lot of talk about him maybe leaving. I know he was on loan at Wolves last season, but he's a talented centre-half and I'm sure there's a lot of Premier League sides to be keeping an eye on how he performs in these games."

"I can't believe he'll stay in the Championship, Mick," said commentator Ian Danter. "I don't know. He's got too much talent, hasn't he?" replied Gray.

"He's clearly enjoyed his time at Wolves," Danter added. "But I think there are bigger opportunities for him. And what better way to display those qualities than at a World Cup."

Krejci later impressed as the Czech Republic were held by South Africa at the Atlanta Stadium, collecting the man of the match award.

The 27-year-old joined on loan from Girona last summer. Despite relegation to the Championship, Wolves activated a clause worth around £26m to sign him after his loan.

Reports have already linked him with Leeds United and Besiktas this summer.
