Slobodan Rajković

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slobodan Rajković (Serbian Cyrillic: Слободан Рајковић), (born February 3, 1989) is a football player from Serbia.

Beginning his career with OFK Belgrade, Rajković soon gained a reputation as an extremely talented youngster. By the age of sixteen he was a regular in the Serbia and Montenegro national under-21 football team. His reputation was such that in 2005, when he was aged just sixteen, English club Chelsea F.C. agreed to a 5,200,000 euro(3,8 million GBP) deal for the centre-half; a world record for a player under eighteen years of age. Under the terms of the deal Rajković will stay at OFK Belgrade until the 2007/08 season when he will move to Chelsea.

He was the youngest player ever to appear in a qualifying match of the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. [1]
