Huddersfield Town have announced the arrival of Spanish-Serbian striker Bojan Radulovic from Finnish side HJK in a move they hope will help solve their goalscoring issues.
The Terriers have been without a recognised and established out-and-out number 9 for much of the season, and now hope that Radulovic’s impressive record in front of goal in the Nordic leagues will translate into success in the Championship.
The 24 year old has joined in a permanent move, signing a three-and-a-half year deal that ties him to the John Smith’s Stadium until summer 2027.
Town sporting director Mark Cartwright said in a club statement: “Working to clearly defined goals ahead of this transfer window, we knew that we wanted to attract players to the Club who could positively impact our first team immediately, bring new skills and options to what already existed within our squad and help us play the brand of football that we desire to; Bojan ticks all of those boxes for us, and more.
“Not only a great asset for now, he has the potential to get even better with time having only just celebrated turning 24, so we’re delighted to tie him down to a long-term contract and have him buy in to what we’re trying to achieve at the club going forward.
“A different type of forward to what we currently have available, he will wear the number nine because that’s exactly what he is, and I’m excited to see the impact his eye for goal and ability to hold the ball up has on the side.”
Darren Moore added: “A forward of Bojan’s profile is someone we’ve really wanted to introduce to the squad, so I’m absolutely delighted that he’s signed a long-term contract with the club.
“We are blessed with real attacking talent and flair in wide areas and midfield, but through injury and unavailability have lacked a forward who can help tie that all together, finish chances in the box with regularity and create space and opportunities for others to exploit, which his size, skill and ability will now allow us.
“Arriving at a really exciting time in his career with a consistent goalscoring record at an impressive level of competition, I’m exciting to start working with him straight away and see what we can have him bring to the side as soon as possible.”
Radulovic is the second player to move to the John Smith’s Stadium this month, following on from Chelsea loanee Alex Matos.
