Official! After Sidny Cabral, Benfica sign again from Estrela da Amadora | OneFootball

It’s official: Benfica has just signed Leon Zietek from Estrela da Amadora. As announced, the young central defender arrives from Reboleira one week before the end of the transfer window. Apparently, the 18-year-old Pole has been loaned to the Glorious until the end of the current season. This is the second signing, after Sidny Cabral.

"I feel very happy. This is a dream come true for any kid, to sign for a club like this. I can’t wait to start playing," said Leon Zietek in statements to BTV, moments after being officially announced as a reinforcement for the Eagles.

"Strong, fast, good with the ball. What more can I say? Very good defensively and strong overall, I think," added the young Pole, describing the main characteristics that define him as a footballer and what he can bring to the Glorious.

"To play as many games as possible, help the team win, and win the league. Win everything there is to win. I know this is the biggest club in Portugal, the best. I love watching the first team play. I watch almost every game. And yes, I’m very happy to be here. It’s a dream," concluded the athlete, outlining his goals.

This season, wearing the Estrela da Amadora shirt, Leon Zietek has been one of the main figures for the Tricolores, playing in 10 official matches: six in the U-19 district championship and four in the Liga Revelação. In the 890 minutes he spent on the pitch, the Pole delivered top-level performances.
