Lechia Gdansk announced another transfer after a season that saw them drop from the PKO BP Ekstraklasa – they have signed 19‑year‑old midfielder Jakub Adkonis, a former Legia Warsaw player. The club hopes the signing will help reverse a disastrous 0W‑0D‑5L run in the last five games, including a 3‑2 loss to Nieciecza on 2026‑05‑23.

Who is joining Lechia?

Jakub Adkonis became a free agent after his contract with Legia Warsaw ended. Last season he played for Pogoni Grodzisk Mazowiecki, making 31 appearances, scoring two goals and providing two assists. His brief stint with Legia featured only two official matches. Now he has a chance to debut in the top flight, although Lechia is fighting for survival – currently 16th with 38 points from 34 games (12 wins, 7 draws, 15 losses).

Why does the transfer matter?

Following relegation, several key players left: Matej Rodin, Matus Vojtko, Bartłomiej Kłudka and Dawid Kurminowski. Additionally, the futures of four leaders – Rifet Kapić, Camilo Mena, Tomas Bobcek and Ivan Żelizko – remain uncertain, with departures likely. In this context, every new signing can influence the team's fate. Adkonis brings freshness and lower‑league experience, which could aid the points battle, especially as Lechia sits 22 points behind leaders Lech Poznan.

What’s next for Lechia’s squad?

The manager and coaching staff are intensifying the search for further reinforcements. Media reports stress the club will not wait for the free‑transfer window – they aim to act before the new season starts. If Adkonis adapts quickly to Ekstraklasa demands, he could become a key figure in midfield, helping organize play and create scoring chances. At the same time, pressure mounts as Lechia must halt a negative run and improve a goal difference of –3, having conceded 65 while scoring 62.

What are the prospects for the season’s end?

The team is battling to stay up, and every point counts. The current tally of 38 points and 16th place means the fight for survival will be intense. If new players, including Adkonis, inject energy and help shift tactics, Lechia may gain the needed momentum. For now, the priority is ending the five‑game losing streak and at least securing a draw in the upcoming fixtures.
