Jay Enem Joins Red Star Belgrade After Serbian Surge
Jay Enem, a 23‑year‑old striker who grew up in the Ajax academy, has signed for Red Star Belgrade. The move follows a productive first half of the Serbian season in which he scored ten goals in seventeen matches.
Enem spent the previous season with the bottom club in Cyprus after leaving Ajax without establishing himself as a first‑team regular. The Dutch forward described his time abroad as a period of both football and personal growth.
In Serbia he found his scoring touch, netting ten times across seventeen league appearances. His performances attracted attention from the country's most successful side.
Red Star Belgrade secured Enem's services during the winter window, adding him to a squad that competes regularly in European competitions. He arrived as a potential alternative to established striker Marko Arnautovic.
Enem made his Europa League debut for Red Star against Lille OSC, where he provided an assist. The contribution highlighted his ability to adapt quickly to a higher level of competition.
The interview series with VoetbalPrimeur explored Enem's experiences in different corners of the world, both on and off the pitch. He reflected on the challenges of moving between leagues and cultures.
Looking ahead, Enem aims to continue developing his game and to help Red Star pursue further European success. His next steps will be closely watched by Dutch followers.
