Player to watch – Zsombor Gruber
Having only just joined from MTK Budapest, Gruer has had to wait for his moment, but he definitely made the most of his first start for his new employers with three goals and two assists.
This should see the 20-year-old retain his place in the starting XI, and he will be aiming to make his mark on the continental scene.
Gruber set for breakout campaign after initial promise
Gruber graduated from the Puskas Akademia academy in 2019, but his journey has been far from smooth since then.
He went on multiple loan spells, which have done little for his development. However, the midfielder seems to have found a settled spot at Ferencvaros and looks poised to announce himself with a stellar season.
