There will be two new faces in Chambly's squad this week in training. The club, beaten by Paris FC (0-3) this Saturday in Beauvais at the opening of the Ligue 2 championship, indeed records the arrival of the Slovenian off-center striker Luka Susnjara (23 years old) - spotted by the recruitment cell de Chambly- in the wake of that of Vlatko Stojanovski.
Former U21 international, Luka Susnjara (1.88 m) played last season at Mura (D1), 4th in the last championship and winner of the 2020 Slovenian Cup, a club for which the left-hander played 42 matches in all competitions in 2019- 2020 and scored ten goals for seven assists.
Deprived for 8 months of his flagship rookie Nikola Petkovic (right knee), Chambly announced Friday the reinforcement of Macedonian international Vlatko Stojanovski (23), loaned by Nîmes (L1) until the end of the season (without option purchase) and expected in training during the week. Luka Susnjara will land at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport this Monday at 4:15 p.m. and should do his first training session with his new teammates on Tuesday morning in Gouvieux.
Like Nikola Petkovic, the Slovenian - trained at Atalanta Bergamo until 2016 - has signed for three years, a contract period rarely granted to Chambly. "He's a very good player in Slovenia, that's for sure," said Camblysian president Fulvio Luzi. Afterwards, he's young, you need to adapt, there are a lot of things that come into play and the Slovenian level may not be the French level. We made a bet on him. "
A bet on the long term for which Chambly paid a transfer, the second only in the history of the club after that paid to secure the services of Nikola Petkovic. “The objective this year was to recruit young players to prepare them for future years,” underlines Fulvio Luzi. We remain in this logic there. "
Powerful and fast, Luka Susnjara should be qualified for the trip to Niort this Saturday on the occasion of the second day of Ligue 2. “He has great qualities of speed and center, says Fulvio Luzi. A priori, it is very promising. "

In any case, this recruitment of Susnjara confirms Chambly's new strategy of prospecting in second zone championships traditionally less coveted by the competition, in particular in eastern Europe, and where good players are more affordable. “We had about fifteen contacts with players from eastern Europe,” says Fulvio Luzi. It will be accentuated next season, we will really push ... "
