Filip Krastev (Bulgarian: Филип Кръстев; born 15 October 2001) is a Bulgarian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Troyes, on loan from Belgian First Division B club Lommel.

Career[]

Krastev joined Slavia Sofia's youth academy in 2010.[2] He made his first team debut at the age of 16 years and 210 days in a 3–0 home loss against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 13 May 2018, coming on as a substitute for Galin Ivanov.[3] Krastev scored his first senior goal on 24 February 2020, netting the second for Slavia during their 3–1 victory against Dunav Ruse. A week later, he provided an assist to Ivaylo Dimitrov in a 2–1 away win over Levski Sofia.[4]

On 18 June 2020, Slavia announced that Krastev would sign for Premier League club Manchester City in the following week,[5] however on 28 June 2020 Krastev was signed by Belgian First Division B team Lommel, part of the City Football Group, which immediately loaned him back to Slavia until the end of 2020.[6] On 28 January 2021, Krastev joined another City Football Group side, Troyes, on an 18-month loan deal.[7]

International career[]

In August 2020, he received his first call up to the senior side for the UEFA Nations League in September, earning his first cap on 6 September, in a 1–0 away loss against Wales after coming on as a late second-half substitute for Todor Nedelev.[8]
