[edit] International

Fenin scored three goals for the Czechs in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, including one in the final against Argentina.[1] After the tournament he won 16th place in a poll for best under-21 player.[2] On August 22, 2007 Fenin made his international debut against Austria.

[edit] Move from home club

Juventus were strongly in the head of the scramble to sign the Czech forward from his home club, FK Teplice. The deal looked to be sealed but Fenin had a change of heart after claiming he wouldn't be happy as Juventus would loan him out to Udinese Calcio or Genoa CFC for a season. He then swiftly agreed to a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt worth €3.5 million, where he scored a hat-trick in his first match.[3]
