Cherif Ndiaye (Adana Demirspor) had been plying his trade in Turkey before making the switch to Red Star in the summer. The Senegalese striker stands at 6'2" tall and plays with a lot of physicality. He scored the opening goal in Zvezda's last Champions League outing against Young Boys.
19-year-old Uros Kabic is another attacking option for the reigning Serbian champions.
Filippo Falco has returned to the side after a spell on loan at Cagliari. Nicknamed the "Messi from Salento", Falco is still waiting to make his first appearance this season after being sidelined with an injury.
Serbian U21 international Vladimir Lucic has also returned to Zvezda after spending a season on loan at FK Cukaricki.
Jean-Philippe Krasso has well and truly hit the ground running after arriving from French side AS Saint-Étienne in the transfer window. He scored 17 goals and assisted 12 more in Ligue 2 last season and has bagged six times in his first 10 Superliga appearances He's currently second in the Serbian scoring charts. The Ivory Coast international, who was born in Stuttgart, is certainly someone to keep an eye on!
Last but not least is versatile attacker Peter Olayinka. The 27-year-old had his most prolific season ever in front of goal last year with Czech side Slavia Prague. He's another Zvezda player who's had a lot of experience in Europe, having played in all three continental competitions.
