Newcastle United secure promising talent Miodrag Pivas

Newcastle United have signed 19-year-old defender Miodrag Pivas from Serbian club Jedinstvo Ub, the Premier League outfit announced on Saturday. Pivas, a Serbian youth international who can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder, spent the majority of his formative years in Austria, representing Siezenheim and Grodig, before moving to Jedinstvo last year.

“Miodrag is a promising talent with a lot of potential,” said Newcastle CEO Darren Eales. Pivas added: “I see the club’s project and it looks great, which convinced me to sign for Newcastle.”

The Magpies open their campaign on August 17 against newly promoted Southampton.
