Although far from the leader, the University of Craiova has not left the fight for the top places, and on Tuesday announced the transfer of a striker with impressive figures this season.

Spanish striker Halen Belsa, the latest transfer from the University of Craiova

The University of Craiova started the new year uncertainly, with two defeats, a draw and a win in four stages of the Super League.

Unsatisfied with the performance of Marković and Kolić, Olten was looking for an effective player to strengthen the team’s attacking zone.

On Tuesday, Mihaj Rotaru’s team introduced Jalen Belsa, a Spanish-English footballer who last played in Kosovo for FC Pristina.

“The University of Craiova strengthens the attacking department and transfers striker Jalen Blesa from FC Pristina to Cetatea Banjei.

Jalen Blesa, 23, is a Science football player until at least June 2027. Our new striker has scored 11 goals in 21 games this season for 4th placed Kosovo and managed to get himself on the scoresheet with 4 assists.

Welcome to the scientific family! Good luck!” – reports the University of Craiova on its official website.

Piri Soiri, Denil Maldonado, Anzor Mekvabishvili and Zvonimir Kozhul also arrived in Ban this winter.

Fourth-placed Olten will face FC Botosani away on Sunday at 17:15 in the 26th round of the Superliga.
