Looks like Red Star is not holding back this summer! Nigerian basketball player Chima Moneke, standing two meters tall and weighing 102 kilograms, has signed a two-year contract with the Belgrade club. The club describes him as a true warrior on the court, full of energy and fighting spirit, with a great sense for positioning in the paint and a high number of rebounds per game. But is this really the reinforcement that will bring Red Star back to the top, or just another player to forget?
Moneke is a Nigerian national team player with a rich career behind him. He played in France for Roan and Orlean, then in Spain for Manresa, where he was the MVP of the FIBA Champions League when the team reached the final. He also played for the Sacramento Kings and Monaco, with whom he won the French championship and cup. In the last two years, he played for Baskonia, averaging 14 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in the EuroLeague, and 12.7 points and 5 rebounds in the Spanish league.
Red Star clearly stated that signing Moneke is just the beginning of a series of transfer activities. They also appealed to fans and media to follow only official club sources, as there is a lot of unverified information on social media and foreign platforms.
Will Moneke be the one to bring new energy and fighting spirit to Red Star? Or will he get lost among the many players who have passed through the club? One thing is certain — Red Star is ready to fight and is not sparing on reinforcements. What do you think? Is this the right move or just another lottery? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
