Default Lyon Target Kosowski

Lyon will be interested in Kamil Kosowski's services. Currently, Kosowski plays in Wisla Cracovia's team, one of the best clubs in Poland.

According to Lyon's coach, Le Guen, Kosowski should play on the right wing, just as Sidney Govou who is on the left. Yet, the price of Kosowski ( 5-6 million euros) could alter Lyon from buying him.

I've been following this guy for a while. Kosowski is a great player and has really attracted a lot of interest from big clubs because of his performances during Wisla's run in the UEFA Cup. In recent weeks he has been linked to Inter, Lazio, Parma, Barcelona and Lyon.

One note, he plays on the left of midfield, not the right. That's probably why he's so coveted, as good left sided players are hard to come by these days.

Personally, I'd love to see him on a big team like Inter, but I'm afraid he doesn't play much defense, which in the end might deter him from Serie A, where every player has to go back and defend. Although it's widely believed he'll go wherever Roberto Mancini coachs next year (either Lazio or Inter) as Mancini has made Kosowski his first transfer priority for next season, seeing him as a perfect fin for his offensive tactics.

I just hope his work ethic is up to it, as many talented Polish players who have gone west in recent years end up sitting on the bench, just happy to get their big paychecks after they realize having natural talent is only half of what it takes to succeed in the big leagues. We'll see...

There was a lot of Polish emmigration to France, especially during the 1800's, so there are quite a few Frenchmen with Polish names.
