Ghana midfielder Edmund Addo completes move to Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade

After joining Sheriff Sheriff Tiraspol in July 2021, Edmund Addo has left the Moldovan side to Serbia after just a season. Longer stay at Sheriff was expected of the Ghanaian International but has quit the Moldavan side for Red Star Belgrade.

Black Stars midfielder Edmund Addo has completed his move to Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, GHANAsoccernet.com has reported.

Addo has signed a four-year deal with the Serbian champions after leaving Moldovan club Sheriff Tiraspol where he flourished last season.

Sherrif rejected an approach by Red Star for the defensive midfielder in January as the player was a key part of their participation in the UEFA Europa League.

According to Richard Gyasi, who is the PRO of Arthur Legacy Sports on Joy Sports, the 22-year-old completed his move ahead of the transfer on Wednesday, August 31, a day before the transfer deadline day.

Addo featured 33 times for Sherrif last season across all competitions and scored once, helping the club to retain the Moldovan Super Liga title and also won Moldovan Cup.

He made his Ghana debut on November 11, 2021 during an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Addo has gone ahead to make seven more appearances for the Black Stars including a 90 minutes action against Central African Republic in June.

The midfielder joins Black Stars teammate Osman Bukari at the club in Serbia. Addo became popular to Ghanaians when his former side Sheriff met defending European champions Real Madrid in group stages of last season’s UEFA Champions League.

Addo was instrumental in both fixtures where Sheriff won the first leg 2-1 away from home before losing the second leg 3-0 in November last year.
