Bologna nabs Czech winger Krejci from Sparta

Czech Republic international left-winger Ladislav Krejci is leaving defending First League runner-up Sparta Prague for Serie A's Bologna.

Krejci becomes the first Czech player in Rossoblu history, signing a four-year deal with the club, according to a statement on Bologna's website.

The 24-year-old has scored four goals in 26 games for the Czech national team after progressing through each rung of the country's youth ranks, including the Under-19 side that finished second at the 2011 UEFA European U19 Championship.

Krejci played all three games for the Czech Republic at Euro 2016, which bowed out after the group phase following losses to Spain and Turkey and a draw with Croatia.

Most comfortable on the left wing where he exploits full-backs with his speed, Krejci has played 131 games for Sparta in the Czech league, twice lifting domestic titles in 2010 and 2014.
