FC Zürich land Spadanuda: Swiss forward joins until 2028

FC Zürich have bolstered their attack with the signing of Kevin Spadanuda from FC Luzern. The 29-year-old forward has put pen to paper on a two-year contract running until summer 2028. Spadanuda arrives with 75 Swiss Super League appearances under his belt and brings valuable attacking experience to the Letzigrund.

Why Spadanuda fits perfectly at FC Zürich

Spadanuda already knows the Letzigrund — albeit as an opponent. The forward spent three seasons with FC Luzern from 2023 to 2026, making 75 Super League appearances and contributing 12 goals and 8 assists. His strength in duels and mobility make him an ideal addition to the current squad.

The 29-year-old has carved out a clear career path: after coming through the youth ranks at FC Aarau, he made his senior debut in August 2019. Across 98 competitive matches for the Aargau club, he scored 46 times. A move to French side Ajaccio in summer 2022 brought 22 Ligue 1 appearances — valuable experience in European football.

What the transfer means for FC Zürich

With Spadanuda, FC Zürich gain a player who has already logged 75 Super League games. That edge over newcomers without Swiss top-flight experience is significant. His contract runs until 2028, giving the club long-term stability up front. His duel strength and ability to exploit spaces will boost the team’s offensive options.

The signing arrives as FC Zürich prepare to kick off the new season after the summer break. Spadanuda’s experience could prove decisive in tight matches — especially against teams like Young Boys or Basel, who have also strengthened their attacks this summer.

Next steps for the new signing

Spadanuda will join the squad in the coming days and take part in pre-season training under head coach Bo Henriksen. His competitive debut for FC Zürich could come as early as 2 August 2026 against FC St. Gallen. The Letzigrund faithful can look forward to a combative attacker who has already faced the club in Luzern colours — but now turns out for the home side.
