Dániel Zsóri (born 14 October 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga I club UTA Arad.[2] Born in Romania, he has represented Hungary at youth level.

Early life

[edit]

Zsóri was born in Oradea, Romania on 14 October 2000.[1][3] He grew up in Satu Nou, Mișca Commune in Arad County.[3] When he was 10 years old, he moved to Békéscsaba to play in the Békéscsaba 1912 Előre youth academy.[3]

Zsóri holds dual Romanian and Hungarian citizenship.[3] He has stated that he would prefer to play for the Hungary national team over the Romania national team if given the option.[4]

Club career

[edit]

Debrecen

[edit]

Debrecen signed Zsóri in September 2017.[5] He was promoted into their senior squad in 2018–19 by manager András Herczeg, who selected him for his senior bow in the Magyar Kupa against Teskánd on 31 October 2018.[6] Zsóri made his debut in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I during a home fixture with league leaders Ferencváros on 16 February, with the forward being substituted on in place of Márk Szécsi before going on to score a ninetieth minute overhead kick at the Nagyerdei Stadion for Debrecen to win 2–1; the goal was shortlisted for the FIFA Puskás Award, which he later won.[7][8][9][10]

Fehérvár

[edit]

On 1 September 2019, Zsóri completed a transfer to Magyar Kupa holders Fehérvár.[11][12] After five appearances in five months for them, Zsóri was loaned out in January 2020 to Nemzeti Bajnokság II side Budaörs.[13] He scored the winner on his debut against Vác on 2 February.[14] He featured four times in total for Budaörs, in a season that was prematurely ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[14] In the succeeding June, Zsóri again departed Fehérvár on loan after agreeing terms with newly promoted Nemzeti Bajnokság I team Budafok.[15]

MTK Budapest

[edit]

On 18 July 2022, Zsóri signed a three-year contract with MTK Budapest.[16] On 10 April 2023, he lost his consciousness after a crash with Barnabás Ruisz in a 2022-23 Nemzeti Bajnokság II match against Győr.[17][18] He was transported to the Petz Aladár Egyetemi Oktató hospital.[19]
