Agent turns to LinkedIn to find a football club their next goalscorer

Tom Victor

We’ve seen football clubs try some strange things when they get desperate for goals.

Some have signed competition winners, others have put a shout-out on Ceefax, and a few have even paid money for Jozy Altidore. But this latest effort tops all of those.

An unnamed Moldovan club has enlisted the help of agent Evghenii Draganov to bring in a new striker, and he has decided to give LinkedIn a spin.

Where better to find a professional footballer than a professional network, right? Well, we’re not sure the approach of specifically requesting that people “don’t offer Africans” is the best way to go about it.
