Motor Lublin is close to completing two new signings following a strong performance in the Polish Cup. Head coach Mariusz Misiura hopes the deals for the new players will be finalized within the next few days, aiming to boost the club's fortunes in a challenging Ekstraklasa season where they currently sit 15th with five points.
The 3-0 cup victory over Legia Warszawa on Tuesday provided a significant morale boost. Goals from Karol Czubak, Fabio Ronaldo, and Mbaye Ndiaye showcased the team's attacking potential. This win is particularly important as the club struggles for consistency in the league, evidenced by a record of six goals scored and ten conceded. Motor will face Legia again on Saturday, this time in the league, with a chance to close the seven-point gap to the table leaders.
Who will join the Motor Lublin squad?
The club is focused on acquiring two new players to stabilize their performances. One priority is the arrival of a defensive midfielder from Senegal. According to a report by Transfery.info, which first broke the news, the player is expected to fly into Lublin on Wednesday. Misiura confirmed these plans, stating, "Jutro przylatuje najprawdopodobniej jeszcze jedna „szóstka” z Senegalu". This move aims to strengthen a midfield that has already conceded ten goals this season.
What did coach Mariusz Misiura say?"Mam nadzieję, że teraz przez najbliższe dwa czy trzy dni dopniemy ostatecznie dwa transfery i wreszcie będziemy dysponować pełną kadrą, gdzie będziemy wiedzieli, jak tym wszystkim zarządzać" – said Misiura. His words indicate a desire to finalize the transfer window swiftly and work with a complete squad. The full team roster can be followed on our squad page.
What are Motor's objectives for the coming weeks?
The immediate goal is a good performance in Saturday's league clash with Legia Warszawa. The longer-term perspective is to improve their position in the Ekstraklasa table, where Motor currently has a record of one win, two draws, and three losses. The next test will be a home match against Widzew Łódź on December 12th, which is already visible in our fixtures list. To close the gap, the team must find a better balance between attack and defence.
Adding new strength with two players is intended to be vital for achieving these objectives. Finalizing the contracts will allow coach Misiura to fully plan his tactics for the remainder of the autumn round. Motor Lublin's next league fixture is at home against Widzew Łódź on December 12th.
