Peter Olayinka joins Red Star
Red Star Belgrade announced on their official channels that they have signed the Nigerian forward on a three-year deal.
The Ibadan-born forward would leave his current club, Slavia Prague, at the end of the season.
He signed for Slavia in the summer of 2018 for a fee in the region of €3.2 million, and his contract expires in six months, making him eligible to negotiate with other clubs on a pre-contract agreement.
