- Ebenezer Annan joins Red Star Belgrade on a three-year deal.
- He signs on a free transfer from Bologna.
- Annan spent last season on loan at Novi Pazar.
- He has played for the Ghana national team.
Ghanaian defender Ebenezer Annan has officially joined Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade on a three-year contract. The 21-year-old completes a free transfer from Italian side Bologna, where his contract was set to expire on June 30.
Annan was unveiled by Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday and expressed his excitement to make a significant impact at the club. In a statement, Annan said, “I am very excited and happy to have signed a contract with Red Star. I am glad that my good games were noticed and that I managed to draw the attention of the Zvezda manager.”
Annan spent last season on loan at Serbian club Novi Pazar, where he made 30 appearances and gained valuable experience in the Superliga. Reflecting on his time at Novi Pazar, Annan said, “I’m familiar with the Superliga and I think it’s very high-quality, so I’m looking forward to having the opportunity to continue playing in Serbia.”
The move comes after Osman Bukari’s departure from Red Star Belgrade to Austin FC in the MLS, leaving Edmund Addo as the sole Ghanaian at the Serbian champions until Annan’s arrival. Annan has improved his game over the past year, earning multiple call-ups to the Black Stars and making his Ghana debut against Nigeria in March.
He also featured against Uganda in international friendlies and remains part of Otto Addo’s plans for the national team, despite not being invited for the recent World Cup qualifiers. With his transfer to Red Star Belgrade, Annan is poised to continue his growth as a player and make a significant impact in the Serbian Superliga.
