Kristijan Belic dreamt of playing for Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham United in the Premier League.
Kristijan Belic had a dream; he wanted to become the first Serbian to ever play for West Ham United in the Premier League.
“To be the first would be a great honour for both myself and my family,” the youngster told the club’s official website back in March. “This is a great club with a big history, and it’s always great to play for West Ham, whatever the level.”
But it seems that Belic has been robbed off the chance to turn that dream into a reality. A young midfielder who joined The Hammers in 2016 and played for the club at U18 and U23 level has bid farewell to the London Stadium without never being given a chance in Manuel Pellegrini’s first team plans.
While Grady Diangana, Declan Rice and co caught the eye of the former Manchester City boss, for whatever reason Belic never quite made the grade.
Though a move to Olympiakos isn’t a bad consolation.
The most successful club in Greek football with 44 league titles to their name, Olympiakos have missed out on each of the last two Super League crowns and patience is wearing thin in Piraeus.
Could Belic, who announced his move on Instagram, show West Ham what they’re missing by bringing glory back to the Greeks?
