Motor Lublin's coach, Mateusz Stolarski, indicated that he had been observing players from the Malta national team as potential reinforcements for his squad. James Carragher, who currently plays for Wigan Athletic, was among those who represented Malta in their match against Poland. Stolarski, together with the club's sporting director, Paweł Golański, had attended the Poland vs Malta match at Stadion Narodowy in March. Their objective was to gain an advantage by scouting players from lesser-known teams, and Carragher's performance had captured their interest. Motor Lublin has a track record of making surprising transfers, including players like Sergi Samper and Jean-Kévin Augustin, which is consistent with their strategy of utilizing non-obvious opportunities to enhance their team.
