Jan Sýkora (born 29 December 1993) is a Czech footballer who plays as a midfielder for Slavia Prague in the Czech First League.[1]
Club career
He began his professional career at Sparta Prague, but failed to make a league appearance for their first team. He also spent time on loan at Zbrojovka Brno.
In 2015, he transferred to Slovan Liberec. On 15 September 2016 he scored the fastest-ever goal of UEFA Europa League, finding the net after just 10,69 seconds in Liberec's group stage match against Qarabağ FK.[2][3]
In total, he made 34 league appearances for Liberec, scoring one goal.
After a lengthy battle for his signature between Slavia Prague and Viktoria Plzeň, the two frontrunners for the league title at the time, he signed for Slavia Prague in January 2017.[4]
International career
Sýkora got his first call up to the senior Czech Republic side for a friendly against Armenia and a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Northern Ireland in August 2016.[5]
