Antonio-Mirko Colak will not be returning to 1. FC Nürnberg from his loan spell in Poland, as Lechia Gdansk have signed him on a permanent basis.

The Croat has been in decent form for the fifth-placed Ekstraklasa side, scoring ten goals in thirty games and is their top scorer - just ahead of Stojan Vranješ.

A buy-out option had been inserted in the deal and the Polish club have duly taken that up.

Colak's game time had been limited in Nürnberg, so the move is probably best for the 21-time Croatian youth international.

His departure now leaves strikers thin on the ground at the Frankenstadion - with just Jakub Slyvestr and youngster, Dominic Baumann as first-team options.

Rumours are rife that Rurik Gislason has already agreed a deal to join René Weiler's men from FC Copenhagen, and it is expected to be announced by the end of the week.

Stefan Kutschke is another name being touted as a mere formality, as he looks to find first-team minutes with a return to the second division.
