He was loaned to FC Košice on 13 January 2026, making around 14 appearances in the second half of the season including the Slovak Cup final; his loan was extended for a further season on 1 July 2026. He represented Slovakia at every youth level from U15 to U21, and has played for the senior national team since 2024.
Playing Style & Assessment
At 1.90 m, Kóša is a centre-back who offers an advantage in aerial duels and inside the box, and who has already gained senior national-team recognition despite his youth. His record of scoring goals as a teenager at Trnava suggests he can also pose a threat at set pieces.
Strengths
- Youth and potential — At 22 and already capped by the senior national team, he offers a long-term centre-back profile.
- Physical build — His 1.90 m height gives a clear advantage in aerial duels and inside the box.
- International experience — Having played for the Slovakia senior national team reflects his recognition in terms of level.
Development Areas
- Loan consistency — His limited playing time in Spain must be proven across regular minutes during his loan spells.
- Top-level competition — He has not yet featured regularly at La Liga level, so his exposure to that standard remains limited.
- Career direction — His long-term path at Zaragoza is not yet clear, leaving his club situation somewhat open in the medium term.
Level Projection
Verdict: A young centre-back from the Real Zaragoza pipeline with senior national-team recognition; not a direct fit for the Turkish Süper Lig, but a long-term profile whose development and playing time are worth monitoring.
