Jhoanner Chávez, a 23-year-old Ecuadorian left-back, has officially become a new player for AC Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic. The announcement was made following Lens’ decision to loan him out after a period of limited participation in Ligue 1. The loan agreement offers an option to buy and will keep Chávez at the club until June 2026, as he aims to regain regular playing time and contribute more significantly to his new team.

The transfer is significant as it marks a fresh start for Chávez, who is eager to reestablish his presence on the field and showcase his abilities in the Chance Liga, which is the top tier of Czech football. This opportunity not only allows him to accumulate playing time but also to adapt to a new footballing environment where he can better develop his skills. His focus will be on meeting the challenges of this new league and making a positive impact with his performances.

In Prague, Chávez will be reuniting with fellow Ecuadorian player John Mercado, further strengthening the representation of Ecuadorian players within the club. The collaboration of these two young talents underscores the growing presence of Ecuadorians in European football and highlights the club’s strategy to incorporate South American talent. Their tenure at Sparta Prague could pave the way for more Ecuadorian players to pursue opportunities abroad and enhance their performance on a larger stage.
