Red Star Belgrade identify Philip Hellquist as future replacement for Boakye Yiadom

Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade have identified Swedish forward Philip Hellquist as possible replacement for Ghana striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom.

Forward Richmond Boakye Yiadom has seven months left on his current deal with the Belgrade based club.

The Serbian league leaders risk losing the Ghana international when his contract expires due to interest from some heavyweights in Europe.

The 27-year old has been the club's main source of goals despite an injury-marred campaign.

Philip Hellquist is being watched by Red Star as they prepare for the departure of Boakye Yiadom.

The former Juventus attacker returned to Red Star in 2018 after a brief spell with Chinese super league side Jiansu Suning.

Boakye Yiadom previously played for Genoa, Atalanta and Latina in Italy before making a switch to Serbia.
