Václav Drchal (born 25 July 1999) is a Czech professional footballer who plays for German club Dynamo Dresden on loan from Czech First League club Sparta Prague as a striker.[1][2]

A product of the České Budějovice youth set-up, Drchal joined Sparta Prague in 2016. After impressing in the Under-19s, he scored on his professional debut in February 2018.

Career[]

Dynamo České Budějovice[]

Drchal began his career at hometown club Dynamo České Budějovice before joining the Sparta Prague youth set-up in 2016.[3]

Sparta Prague[]

Having scored 22 goals in 15 games for the Under-19s in the 1. Dorostinecká Liga, as well as two goals in both the Premier League International Cup and UEFA Youth League, Drchal was rewarded with a chance to join the first team.[4]

On 8 January 2018, he signed a contract extension securing his future at the club until June 2020.[5]

The following day, he scored a hat-trick within nine minutes of coming off the bench for his first non-competitive appearance in a 7–2 win against FC MAS Táborsko.[6] Drchal then joined the first team on a winter training camp in Spain.[7]

On 25 February, he made his competitive debut in a 1–1 draw with 1. FC Slovácko. Drchal scored his first goal for the club in the 53rd minute to give his side the lead.[8] In doing so, he became the third youngest player to score on their debut in the Czech top flight – only Petr Ruman and Vladimir Stork were younger when they scored in debuts in the 1993–94 and 1994–95 seasons.[9]

International[]

On 2 September 2017, Drchal made his youth international debut in a 2–1 defeat to Republic of Ireland Under-19s. Two days later, he made a second appearance – once again against the Republic of Ireland – and scored in another 2–1 friendly defeat.

After being named as an unused substitute in a 5–0 win against Armenia in 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification, he made appearances off the bench in victories against Luxembourg and Scotland as Czech Republic topped their group with maximum points.
