Senegalese striker Chérif Ndiaye has reached a significant milestone in his professional career, netting his 100th goal during Crvena Zvezda’s victory over Vojvodina on Matchday 29 of the Serbian SuperLiga.
With this achievement, he joins the ranks of fellow Senegalese football stars Sadio Mané and Mamadou Niang in reaching a century of goals.
A Key Figure in Serbian Football
Ndiaye has established himself as a dominant force in Serbian football. Currently leading the league’s scoring charts with 17 goals and five assists, the 28-year-old forward has been instrumental for Crvena Zvezda.
His latest goal not only secured three points for his club but also cemented his status among Senegal’s top strikers.
Since making his professional debut, Ndiaye has featured in 258 club matches, scoring at an impressive rate across various leagues.
His journey through European and Asian football has shaped him into the prolific forward he is today.
A Career Built Across Continents
Ndiaye’s professional path has seen him play in multiple countries, adapting to different footballing cultures along the way.
His career began in Belgium with Beveren, where he managed just one goal before moving to Croatia’s HNK Gorica. There, he found his footing, scoring 15 goals over two seasons.
His performances in Croatia earned him a move to Turkey with Göztepe, where he netted 20 goals in 69 appearances.
A brief stint in China followed with Shanghai Port, where he added nine goals to his tally. He then returned to Turkey with Adana Demirspor, enjoying a productive spell of nine goals in just 14 matches.
Since joining Crvena Zvezda, Ndiaye has continued to impress, scoring 28 times in 53 matches across two seasons. His goal-scoring prowess has made him a crucial asset for the Serbian giants, who are aiming for domestic and European success.
A Season of Records
With 17 league goals this season, Ndiaye is not only Crvena Zvezda’s top scorer but also the leading marksman in the Serbian SuperLiga. As the season progresses, the Senegalese forward will look to add to his tally and further solidify his legacy.
Reaching 100 career goals is a remarkable achievement, but for Chérif Ndiaye, this milestone is just another step in a journey that continues to rise.
