TOP 25 “BEST BUY” 2018/2019: From “Serbian anonymous” to Dejan Milosavljev!

The end of May 2019 is traditionally a perfect time to see which players have been the best value for money in the season which will have the “big final” at 1oth VELUX EHF Champions League 2018/2019 in Cologne on June 1&2.

Player who made the biggest step forward in current season is RK Vardar goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev. The 22-years old Serbian goalie came to Skopje from RK Partizan Beograd, the team who ended third in domestic Super liga 2017/2018, without serious international experience as he was third choice in Serbian NT for Men’s EHF EURO 2018.

However, EHF CL campaign in Skopje made from him serious replacement for Arpad Sterbik and Strahinja Milic. Milosavljev “earned” contract with Fuchse Berlin.
