Kryštof Daněk

Kryštof Daněk of LASK was born in Olomouc, Czech Republic on 5 January 2003 (age 23).

Kryštof Daněk, born on 5 January 2003 (age 23), is a Czech central attacking midfielder with LASK, where he wears the number 9 shirt. His role is largely in the advanced midfield line, closer to the forwards than the deeper work.

His most productive league season came at Pardubice in 2023-24, when he scored 8 goals in 25 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his senior output so far, with Daněk showing he could contribute more than tidy possession when given regular football.

At LASK in 2026-27, he has made 7 appearances in all competitions and scored once, including 3 Bundesliga appearances and a Champions League qualifying outing. He has also featured 3 times in UEFA under-21 qualifying for the Czech Republic.

Daněk’s career is still taking shape: a Czech attacking midfielder with a strong season at Pardubice behind him and a developing role at LASK.
