Biography

Dawid Igor Kownacki (['david kɔvˈnat͡ski] (); born 14 March 1997) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Fortuna Düsseldorf, and the Polish national team.

Early career

Having started out at local side GKP Gorzów Wielkopolski, Kownacki joined Lech Poznań in 2005, coming through the youth ranks and making it to the first team in December 2013. He scored his first Ekstraklasa goal in February 2014 in a 5–1 loss at Pogoń Szczecin, becoming one of only five players aged under 17 to have registered in Poland's top flight. He won his first league title the following season – "At 16, people were calling me 'the new Lewandowski', and that was tough to handle, but I changed my attitude, grew up and am now much better at not taking to heart what people say. Of course, I still have big dreams".

Club career

Sampdoria

On 11 July 2017, Kownacki signed a five-year contract with Italian side Sampdoria.

In November, he scored a brace and assisted another goal in Sampdoria's 4–1 Coppa Italia win against Delfino Pescara.

Fortuna Düsseldorf

On 31 January 2019, Kownacki joined to German Bundesligaclub Fortuna Düsseldorf on loan with an option to buy.

On 30 June 2019, he rejoined Fortuna on another loan with an obligation to buy, which was fulfilled in January 2020.

International career

Kownacki got his first call up to the senior Poland squad for matches against Georgia and Greece in June 2015. Kownacki represented Poland at Under-16, Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 level, winning 33 caps and scoring 25 goals.

In May 2018 he was named in Poland's preliminary 35-man squad and subsequently final 23-man for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
