Benfica set to close deal for Slavia Prague left back

Benfica is set to acquire the services of Slavia Prague left-back David Jurasek for a reported fee of €13 million after the two clubs seem to have over come their remaining obstacles in getting this deal completed.

Benfica have been looking for a replacement for the now departed Alex Grimaldo and had been linked with a host of left backs around Europe but look to have finally landed an adequate replacement with the Czech international. 

The 22 year old Jurasek appeared in 45 games last season across all competitions, scoring twice while providing 13 helpers. Slavia Prague will retain 15 to 20 percent on any future sale.
