Arkadiusz Milik

Mercedes Benz


That's a cool looking Merc. The intensity in his eyes is immense. You could easily mistake him to be a racing driver if you didn't know anything about him.

Behind all those smiles and talent, hides a difficult past- one that could have potentially derailed his life. Thankfully he had the mentorship of Rozwój Katowice's youth team coach, known by the nickname Moki. It was him who first identified the special qualities in our striker that have now earned him a comparison with compatriot and Bayern Munich hitman Robert Lewandowski. Our forward had an opportunity, as a youth player, to play in England but decided against in and completed his development in his home country. His first team as a senior was also a bizarre choice, in our opinion, because he did have other options but chose to play for Górnik instead, the team from the city of Zabrze. He garnered the interest of Bayer Leverkusen, who signed him in 2013. He failed to adapt to the German side, which saw him earn loan moves to FC Augsburg and then to Ajax for one season each. Ajax were quite keen on him and made the move permanent only to let him go in 2016, albeit for a profit, to Napoli. In the summer of 2021 he moved to Olympique Marseille, after a successful period on loan in France. His first callup to the Polish national team was in 2012. He has been a regular for the side since. He has also played for them in the Under-17, 19, and 21 levels. He is on track to becoming the heir to Lewandowski in the Polish side if he continues to displays his abilities.
