Nigeria international Gbolahan Salami has completed his move to Serbian outfit FK Crvena Zvezda on undisclosed terms.
The 23-year-old was allowed to skip the Super Eagles international friendly match against Yemen in order to finalise the deal.
Salami, a striker, completes his move from Nigeria Professional Football League side Warri Wolves.
The Red-Whites handed the ex Shooting Stars attacker the number 11 jersey.
The all action forward wrapped up his move to the one-time UEFA
Champions League winners after reports claimed he had impressed
officials of the club.
He is said to have justified himself and has convinced the Nenad
Lalatović led technical crew to trust in his talents in the winter
transfer window.
Salami has been tagged as a replacement for compatriot Adeola Dauda who moved to Vitesse last summer.
He was part of the Nigeria national under-23 football team during their failed attempt to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics.
In January 2014, coach Stephen Keshi, invited him to be a part of the
Nigeria national football team squad for the 2014 African Nations
Championship.
He scored the only goal for the Home-based Eagles in their opening 2-1
loss to Mali. He was called into the squad for the 2015 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifiers and scored a late goal as a substitute against Congo,
but Nigeria lost 3-2 at home.
Salami, who got married some weeks ago, scored seventeen goals last season in the NPFL for Wolves.
