Ghana striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom has revealed the decision behind his move to Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade, insisting he was enticed by the club’s attacking style of play.
The 24-year-old has hit a rich vein of form in 2017, and scored his 30th goal of the year during a Europa League clash against Koln last week.
His form has prompted calls for him to move to one of Europe’s elite sides. However, the former Atalanta attacker believes moving to Red Star Belgrade was best for his career.
According to him, there were offers from Spanish clubs, but he favoured a move to the Serbian giants due to their “top” status.
Speaking to the media from the Black Stars’ camping base in Kenya, Boakye-Yiadom said: “I had offers from Spain and other places but I chose to go to Red Star Belgrade because they play attacking football and that suits me as my duty is to score. Normally all the teams I featured for were mid table teams but I really needed a top club.

The striker is currently part of the Ghana squad scheduled to face on Saturday in a crucial group E world cup qualifier.
