Second chance
Striker Purovic joins Ratko Dostanic's side on a four-year contract from FK Buducnost Podgorica. "This is a dream," said the 20-year-old. "I had a trial with Crvena Zvezda when I was seven - their coaches said I was better off staying with Buducnost but that one day I would come to Belgrade. Today is that day. However, Buducnost will always have a place in my heart."
Decisive goal
Purovic scored 14 league goals for the Podgorica team last season as they finished sixth in the Serbo-Montenegrin First League and qualified for the UEFA Intertoto Cup. One of those goals was the winner against Crvena Zvezda in the capital.
