Our busy transfer window continued with the signing of yong Slovakian winger Erik Jirka from FC Spartak Trnava.
Jirka is no stranger to Rajko Mitić Stadium as he visited recently when Zvezda and Sparta met in the Champions League Third Qualifying Round. He’s done well in that match, providing the assist for the visitors’ goal.
The talented Slovakian signed a four-year contract with the champions of Serbia and will officially join in January 2019.
“I’m happy to have signed for Crvena zvezda, a club of rich history. There are few stadiums that can compare to Marakana. The atmosphere here is immense. I was really struck by it when I ran walked out the tunnel for that match. I’ve been given an opportunity that only a selected few is given.”
