Necid passes medical at CSKA Moscow

The 19-year-old Czech football player Tomáš Necid has passed a medical at CSKA Moscow and will start training with the Russian club after Christmas. Necid was the top scorer in the Czech league in the first half of the season with 11 goals for Slavia Prague. Another Slavia player likely to be absent in the New Year is Marek Suchý, who appears set to join Hamburg. Staying with mid-season transfers, Baník Ostrava have lost Václav Svěrkoš to Sochaux and Tomáš Galásek to Borussia Monchengladbach, while Sparta’s Miroslav Slepička has signed with Dinamo Zagreb.
