The Rakow Czestochowa star had an impressive campaign keeping 16 clean sheets over the course of the campaign in both the league and Europa Conference League.

Rangers have pinpointed the Bosnia and Herzegovina international as a possible number one who could replace Allan McGregor.
Kovacevic still has two years left on his current contract, but Herald and Times Sport understand that Rakow are keen to cash in on their star man while they can.

Ibrox hero McGregor looks certain to retire this summer after making an emotional appearance off the bench during Saturday’s Scottish Cup final.
Jon McLaughlin started, as he had done in all the previous rounds, but the former Hearts keeper told manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst he wanted McGregor to be given a late run-out if appropriate.
It was a first Scottish Cup final appearance for the former Scotland goalkeeper, who has defied his age this season to help Rangers to the Europa League final with some impressive performances.
It could also be the final appearance of McGregor’s career but he is relaxed about his impending decision and will reflect on the campaign before making any decisions.
When asked whether he would play for Rangers again, McGregor told Premier Sports: “I don’t know, I have not thought about it.
“The last few months have been hectic, there have been games every midweek and all I have been focusing on is the next game. This is the last game so I have not thought about it.
“I will speak to the club soon enough and we will take it from there.
“I can speak to the club easily and they can speak to me easily. It’s not a big problem, it’s not a heated discussion, just a general chat more than anything to see what the script is, and we will take it from there.”
