Serbia international Ognjen Koroman has joined FK Crvena Zvezda on a seven-month loan. The 28-year-old signs from Russian second division side FC Terek after spending the first half of the season on loan at Portsmouth FC.

'Happy'
"I'm happy because I'll have a chance to play," he said. "I was on the bench all the time at Portsmouth which was disappointing. Everybody in Serbia knows I'm a Crvena Zvezda supporter and I shall make the most of this second chance."

Experienced international
Koroman has scored once in 33 appearances for the national side and featured twice at the FIFA World Cup last summer. He started his career in the Crvena Zvezda youth set up but never played for the first team.

Fourth signing
Should Crvena Zvezda win the title and qualify for the UEFA Champions League, Koroman will stay with the Serbian side, otherwise he will speak with Terek about other possibilities. Koroman is Crvena Zvezda's third signing this week, following the arrivals of defenders Vladimir Djordjevic and Miloš Bajalica and striker Igor Burzanović.
