David Strelec, born on 4 April 2001 (age 24), hails from Slovakia. Being a gifted forward, especially as a striker, he has spent much of his playing career strengthening the squad of Slovan Bratislava. Standing at 6ft (1.85m) tall and weighing at 11st 6lb (73kg), the no.13 has also adorned the Slovakia national team jersey with pride and passion.
With his enviable skillset and numerous contributions, Strelec's current market value is estimated to be around £5.5m, as per Transfermarkt. He remains a valuable asset to Slovan Bratislava, with his contract set to run until 30 June 2028.
Strelec's journey with Slovan Bratislava began back in July 2007 when he joined as a trainee. He made his mark in his debut season 2018-2019 with 13 appearances and two goals. In the 2021-2022 season, he made only four appearances, but has truly shone so far in the current season of 2024-2025 with 23 appearances and a remarkable 20 goal tally.
The forward's journey took a brief turn in August 2021 when he made a £2.3m transfer to Serie B side, Spezia, in Italy. However, his time there was marked by fewer appearances, totalling 17, and only one goal. This stint included a loan transfer to Reggina in January 2023 where he made 15 appearances and scored three goals.
Leaving Italy behind, Strelec transferred back to Slovan Bratislava in August 2023, on loan initially before making a full return in July 2024, for a fee of around £580k. His contributions since have been significant, elevating the team's performance in the First Football League in Slovakia.
Strelec has left his indelible mark on the international stage as well. He played for Slovakia in Euro 2024, Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024, as well as the Nations League 2024-2025 where he scored four goals in six appearances. His achievements with Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League Qualifiers 2024-2025 and the Conference League 2023-2024 are also noteworthy.
