Oliwier Zych is reportedly on the verge of joining Raków Częstochowa, as stated by Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl. After completing a loan spell at Puszcza Niepołomice, where he played 26 league matches and achieved seven clean sheets, Zych returned to Aston Villa. He has not yet made his debut for Aston Villa's first team but has appeared in six matches for their U-21 team, including two in Premier League 2, and was named on the bench for the senior team in both the Premier League and Champions League. It is suggested that the transfer to Raków is in advanced stages, with Zych favoring this move despite receiving interest from Championship clubs. At Raków, he would be in competition with Kacper Trelowski for a starting position, although there is speculation that Trelowski might depart if a suitable offer is made this summer. Additionally, Raków is preparing to participate in the Conference League qualifiers.
