The Nigerian signed a three-year contract with the possibility of a further extension.
“Olayinka comes from Slavia Prague as a free agent. He was the best football player there, and he is also a member of the Nigerian national team,”Mrkela told the club’s official website.
He has a lot of experience playing in European competitions, and last season he scored four goals in the Conference League and 11 goals in the championship.
“I believe that he will be a great reinforcement for Zvezda, he has the characteristics that we were looking for in a player for his position and I am sure that our team will gain a new physiognomy and strength with him.”
