David Zima

David Zima is a physically imposing centre-back who has been part of the Slavia Prague setup since 2019, with a loan spell at Torino in Serie A in 2022 broadening his experience against top-level forwards. Strong in the air and aggressive in the tackle, he suits a defensive unit that wants to defend high and win second balls. His Serie A exposure gives him a point of difference from many of his Czech defensive colleagues, and at 25 he is entering what should be his peak years. Consistent club form at Slavia has kept him in the national team picture as a reliable option in central defence.
