Tomáš Čvančara, born on 13 August 2000 (age 25), is a Czech striker who joined Celtic in January 2026 from Borussia Mönchengladbach. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) forward, he arrived with a profile built less on noise than on a solid enough record in Czech and German football.
His most productive league season came with Sparta Prague in 2022-23, when he scored 12 goals in 24 appearances. That return earned him a move to Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he operated primarily as a centre-forward in a more demanding league environment.
Celtic brought him in from Mönchengladbach in January 2026, adding a tall striker with senior European experience and room still to sharpen. His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Čvančara’s career has taken him from Sparta Prague to the Bundesliga and then to Celtic. At 25, he is an established professional rather than a project, but still at an age where his next spell can do plenty to shape the rest of his career.
