Borussia Mönchengladbach forward Tomáš Čvančara nears loan move to Hradec Králové

Borussia Mönchengladbach forward Tomáš Čvančara is close to finalizing a loan move to the Czech top-flight club Hradec Králové. The two clubs have reportedly reached a verbal agreement for a one-year deal that does not include an option to purchase the player. Čvančara is scheduled to travel for a medical examination this Thursday to complete the transfer. The move follows his previous loan spells at Antalyaspor and Celtic, where the Czech international made a combined 20 league appearances and scored three goals. The temporary transfer aims to provide the forward with increased playing time following his stints at his previous clubs. Should the medical proceed as expected, the agreement will be formalized shortly thereafter.
