Vlad Mihai Dragomir (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈvlad miˈhaj dragoˈmir]; born 24 April 1999) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Cypriot First Division club Pafos.

Club career

[edit]

Dragomir made his senior debut for ACS Poli Timișoara on 30 August 2014, aged 15, after coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Alexandru Lazăr in a Liga II match with CS Mioveni.[1]

He was signed by Premier League team Arsenal for an undisclosed fee in June 2015.[2] In September 2016, The Guardian named him on a list of the 60 best young talents born in 1999.[3]

In August 2018, Dragomir announced that he would move to Italian Serie B side Perugia upon the expiration of his contract in England.[4] On 26 January 2021, he returned to the second league with Virtus Entella.[5]

Style of play

[edit]

Dragomir can be deployed as an attacking midfielder or as a winger on either flank and is known for his vision and agility.[6][7] During his time at Arsenal, manager Arsène Wenger compared his playing style to that of Jack Wilshere.[8]
