Eugen Polanski

Polish footballer (born 1986)

On 12 June 2009, Polanski was loaned out to 1. FSV Mainz 05 on a season long spell. However, the following month, the deal was extended for another year, with the clubs reaching an agreement for a permanent switch in early November 2010. On 25 January 2013, Polanski joined fellow top division team TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, penning a deal until June 2015.

Polanski appeared for Germany at various youth levels, often as captain. He was a key member of the under 21s at the 2006 UEFA European Championship, scoring a magnificent long range goal in the fixture against Serbia and Montenegro; his form made AS Monaco FC enquire about his services, but Mönchengladbach promptly rejected the offer. In May 2011, Polanski confirmed his intent to play for Poland. On 26 July, he was called up by manager Franciszek Smuda for a friendly with Georgia, making his debut in the game which took place on 10 August. Polanski was selected as part of the 23 man squad that competed in the finals played on home soil and Ukraine. He appeared in three games during the tournament, in an eventual group stage exit.
