After the very strong season with the “Pacific” team in the Premier League of Canada, the Bulgarian goalkeeper Emil Gazdov is the object of interest from 3 teams from the North American country and the German elite “Bochum”.
This is reported by the authoritative publication transfermarkt, which is recognized worldwide as the authority on everything related to transfers in football.
The 3 Canadian teams in question are “Montreal”, “Toronto” and “Vancouver Whitecaps”. Part of the first is our until recently national player Dominik Yankov. These teams play in the MLS, which is the highest level of soccer in North America, representing the US and Canadian championships.
In Germany, Gazdov is known, as he spent 1 year on loan from “Pacific” in “Nuremberg”.
In the past season, the 21-year-old Bulgarian, who also has a Canadian passport, kept in 21 games. He did not concede a goal in 9 of them. This earned him the “Gold Glove” award for the best at his position in the Canadian Premier League.
Representatives of “Bochum” watched Gazdov live. The Bulgarian passport would facilitate his transfer to Germany.
According to transfermarkt, Gazdov could be called up for the Canadian national team camp in January.
What impact could Emil Gazdov’s performance have on his chances of joining a European club?

Alex Turner: Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time for Emil Gazdov and the football community.
Time.news Editor: Emil Gazdov has had a standout season with the “Pacific” team in the Canadian Premier League. What stood out to you about his performance?
Alex Turner: Emil’s season was nothing short of remarkable. With 21 games played and 9 clean sheets, he demonstrated exceptional skill and composure. Earning the “Gold Glove” award for the best goalkeeper in the league speaks volumes about his talent and potential. At just 21 years old, he’s already making a name for himself.
Time.news Editor: Indeed! The article mentions interest from three Canadian teams—Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver Whitecaps—as well as German club Bochum. What do you think this means for Emil’s career trajectory?
Alex Turner: This cross-border interest is a significant indicator of his rising status in the football world. The Canadian teams, playing in MLS, offer a competitive environment that could elevate his game further. Moving to a club like Bochum could introduce him to European football, where the level of competition is undeniably higher. For a young player like Gazdov, this exposure is invaluable for his development.
Time.news Editor: How important is his dual passport for a potential move to Germany?
Alex Turner: Very important! Having a Bulgarian passport alongside his Canadian citizenship can ease many transfer complexities. European clubs often look for players without the burden of international transfer paperwork, and Gazdov’s status would smooth the process immensely. It makes him a more attractive prospect for teams like Bochum, who are keen to enhance their squad without potential bureaucratic hurdles.
Time.news Editor: There’s talk that he could be called up for the Canadian national team camp in January. How significant is this opportunity for him?
Alex Turner: Being called up to the national team is a huge milestone and recognition of his talent. If he performs well, it could propel his career to new heights. International experience at this stage would not only boost his confidence but also put him in the spotlight of scouts from large clubs. It’s a fantastic opportunity for him to showcase his abilities on a larger stage.
Time.news Editor: For young athletes aspiring to make it in professional football, what advice would you give, particularly in light of Gazdov’s success?
Alex Turner: I would advise young players to focus on their development, remain adaptable, and seek opportunities that challenge them. Just like Gazdov, it’s important to enjoy the journey and learn from every experience. Building connections, staying committed to training, and seizing opportunities—whether it’s joining a competitive league or working hard at training camps—are essential steps. Lastly, having the mental resilience to handle pressure and setbacks is crucial in this field.
