Club career

Płacheta started his youth career for Polish side Pelikan Łowicz.[3] He joined ŁKS Łódź after his father saw an advert in a newspaper for young footballers.[4] Later, he played for RB Leipzig Academy in Germany,[5][6] during which time he played for the senior side in a number of friendly matches.[7] In 2017, Płacheta made his professional debut for German 3. Liga team Sonnenhof Großaspach.[8] He later returned to Poland as his mother was ill. He then played for Pogoń Siedlce.[9]

Prior to the 2018–19 I liga, Płacheta signed for Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała,[10] and made 25 appearances for the club that season.[11] In 2019, Płacheta signed for Śląsk Wrocław for around 300,000 Polish złoty.[9] He signed a three-year contract with the club.[11] During a pre-season tour, Płacheta reached a speed of 35.22 kilometres per hour (21.88 mph), the highest recorded speed for any Polish league player that pre-season.[12] In the 2019–20 I liga, he scored eight goals in 35 appearances,[5][8] and provided five assists.[6]

In July 2020, Płacheta signed for English club Norwich City,[8] on a four-year deal.[5][3] The deal was estimated to be around €3 million[3][6] (around 12 million złoty),[13] a club record sale for Śląsk Wrocław.[13][14] Płacheta was Norwich's first ever Polish player.[5] He scored his first goal for Norwich in a 2–2 draw against Preston North End on 19 September 2020.[15]

Płacheta joined EFL Championship club Birmingham City in July 2022 on loan for the season.[16] He scored his first goal on his second appearance, at home to Huddersfield Town on 5 August, when he drove the rebound from Jordan James's blocked shot past the goalkeeper to give his side a 2–0 half-time lead; the match ended 2–1.[17]

International career

Płacheta played for Poland under-21s in a 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship match against Spain under-21s in Italy.[11][9] He was the youngest player in Czesław Michniewicz's Poland under-21 squad.[11] In November 2020, Płacheta made his first appearance for the Poland senior team in a friendly match against Ukraine.[18]

Personal life

Płacheta was born on 23 March 1998 in Łowicz, Poland.[11] When Płacheta was young, he was a bobsledder, before choosing to become a footballer.[9] Płacheta has said that he is a fan of Chelsea footballer Raheem Sterling, and has compared his playing style to Sterling.[6][19] His older brother Marcin is a former runner and bobsledder who competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics.[9][7] His other older brother Sylwester has played football for MKS Kutno [pl].[7] Their mother died in 2019.[9]
