The Roar's A-League Men tips and predictions: Semi-finals, second leg
So the Mariners enter the second leg of their A-League semi-final against the Sky Blues in the box seat and the Phoenix hold home-ground…
The hunt for an international marquee striker is finally over for Graham Arnold as Sydney FC officially announced the signing of Slovakian striker Filip Holosko on a two-year deal.
The club announced the signing of the Slovakian on a deal worth just over $1 million.
The 31-year old played for Besiktas for seven years while also going out on loan on two occasions to İstanbul Başakşehir and Çaykur Rizespor in the Turkish Süper Lig.
Holosko played five seasons for Besiktas, appearing in 144 games and scoring 42 goals. He will have some big shoes to fill, replacing last year’s golden boot winner and Austria skipper Marc Janko.
Arnold claimed that Holosko will be more of a replacement for Bernie Ibini but will mostly play leading the line. He is very versatile for his age, and Arnold believes he can play on the left as well as the right.
This comes as Sydney FC’s fifth addition to the squad, with Riley Woodcock, Zac Anderson, Andrew Hoole and Milos Ninkovic joining the club for the upcoming season.
Holosko fills Sydney’s fourth visa spot out of five and Arnold is contemplating whether to fill it or not.
Sydney FC has also been in talks with Australian James Demetriou from Swansea City on loan. If this deal arrives or another striker is added, we could possibly see Holosko playing on the wing more often than expected.
