"Gluch is already on the radar of many scouts. He impressed in the qualifiers even though few expected him to bring such a significant impact to the team. Gluch demonstrates maturity, intelligence and ingenious technique in the Israeli team's offensive link," Carlsen wrote in a guest column on ESPN.
Carlsen also wrote: "The Israeli midfielder has already gained quite a few fans during his games and these days the conversation is growing about his possible transfer, another summer, at a cost of about 10 million euros. It is difficult to stop him as he runs forward, he is brilliant in dribbles "You don't see such talent in the last third of the field at such a young age."
