Mihael Kuprešak

Kuprešak is a product of Osijek's academy, joining them in 2013 and climbing their ranks ever since. This season he got promoted to Osijek II in 2. HNL from their U19 team, starting 20 out of 21 games.

He can play anywhere on the left side, even on the right. In the 1st part of the season he played as a left wing-back in a 343 but switched to a pure left-winger in the 2nd part of the season when they started playing a 4231.

2. HNL 20/21 - 21 games / 1 goal / 4 assists

He's been a standout performer for Osijek even in the youth leagues.

1. HNL U15 (15/16) - 21 games / 12 goals

1. HNL U17 (16/17 and 17/18) - 50 games / 21 goals

1. HNL U19 (18/19 and 19/20) - 37 games / 14 goals

Plenty of international experience for Croatia as well.

Croatia U19 - 7 games / 1 goal

Croatia U17 - 13 games

He's very quick and agile with great dribbling skills. Osijek II's main creative force, his crosses can be very deadly. Not the greatest finisher so a wing-back position could be perfect for him. Gives him more defensive cover also.

It's not going to be easy for him to break through the first team while Jurčevič and Talys are both good experienced left-backs + Bohar, Bočkaj, Gyurcso on the wings. Maybe Bjelica gives him a chance to impress him in the pre-season ? We'll see.
