Kenan Muslimović (born 13 February 1997) is an Austrian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian football forward playing with FK Novi Pazar in the Serbian SuperLiga.

Career

Born in Vienna,[1] he started playing in the youth teams of Austrian clubs FK Austria Wien and FC Admira Wacker.[2] In summer 2014 he joined senior team of First Vienna FC, however, he played for the B team.[3] Following summer, in 2015, he moved to Italy and signed for the youth team of Novara Calcio[2] during the firs-half of the season, making 3 appearances in the youth league.[4] Novara won the race with FC Red Bull Salzburg in signing him.[5]

During winter-break of the 2015–16 season, he left Italy and moved to former-Yugoslavia to join Bosnian side FK Mladost Doboj Kakanj[6] playing in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1][7] Regarded as a major talent, in summer 2016 he moved to Serbia. Initially, he was about to join FK Partizan's farm-club FK Teleoptik, thus following a family tradition, since his father, who had ended his career prematurelly because of illnes, had played for Partizan youth team.[8] However, instead, he ended up joining top-league side FK Novi Pazar. He failed to debut in the SuperLiga during the first half of 2016–17 season. In December 2016 and January 2017, he was on trials at German giants Hertha BSC.[9][10] He ended up staying at Novi Pazar, and made his debut in the Serbian SuperLiga on February 18, 2017, in the first round played after winter-break.

Personal life

Kenan is a nephew of Bosnian singer Halid Muslimović.[11]
