Pape Chérif Ndiaye is enjoying a remarkable spell at Red Star Belgrade, with the Senegalese striker on the brink of surpassing his own personal best for goals in a single season.
After an impressive start to the 2024-2025 campaign, Ndiaye is proving to be even more prolific in front of goal than last season.
Since joining Red Star Belgrade, Ndiaye has established himself as a key figure in the club’s attacking line-up. In the previous season, he was a standout performer, scoring 15 goals and providing three assists across 39 appearances.
His efforts were instrumental in securing the club’s qualification for the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League, where his performances on the continental stage further solidified his reputation.
However, this season, Ndiaye has raised the bar even higher. With 11 goals and two assists in just 15 matches of the Serbian Superliga, he has already matched his goal tally from last season, which took him 28 games to achieve.
His form in the Champions League has been equally impressive, with one goal and an assist to his name in the competition so far.
In total, the 28-year-old forward has contributed 12 goals and three assists in 23 games across all competitions in the 2024-2025 season.
Ndiaye’s efficiency in front of goal has made him one of the most formidable strikers in Serbian football this season, and he appears to be on course to surpass his record from the previous year.
The former Göztepe and Adana Demirspor player’s clinical finishing and sharp movement have been a constant threat to opposition defences, and his performances continue to catch the attention of both domestic and international observers.
With half of the season still to go, questions now loom over whether Ndiaye can maintain this outstanding form and set new records for both himself and Red Star Belgrade.
His current trajectory suggests that he is more than capable of achieving new heights, making the 2024-2025 season one to remember for the talented striker.
