It was the club that wanted me the most in the end. In my career, at my age, it’s important to feel where the next step is and, in the end, I had the feeling Wolverhampton is the best step for my development.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6606294##To date, the 2020/21 campaign have been Kalajdzic’s most productive, after he bagged 16 times to finish the division’s sixth top scorer. Last term, a shoulder injury disrupted the Austrian’s style, but he still hit six goals, including two important equalisers at Union Berlin and Bayern Munich.
