Oxford United have made their eighth signing of the summer with the arrival of Poland international, Przemyslaw Placheta.

The 26-year-old joins the U’s as a free agent after his Swansea City contract expired last month.

The left winger, who can also play at left-back, spent time at several clubs at youth level before joining RB Leipzig in 2015.

After a few moves, Placheta would end up in England and joined Norwich City for a reported £2.5 million in July 2020.

The winger played in the Premier League with the Canaries before a spell on loan at Birmingham and a short-term move to Swansea.

Speaking for the first time Placheta said: “I’m very happy to be an Oxford United player and I can’t wait to play in front of the fans and meet my new teammates.

“I know I can be a good player in the Championship. My strengths are my dribbling, speed and directness and I know what the gaffer expects from his wingers.

“I want to add goals and assists to this team and I will do everything for the club to have a successful season.”

Des Buckingham added: “We are extremely pleased to have a player of Płacheta’s quality in our squad for this Championship season.

“He offers incredible pace in our wide area and fits the profile we are looking for in our wide players.

“To add another player to the squad that has experience at this level is really important, and we believe Przemysław can make a big difference going forward and be a player that gets fans off seats.”
