Asmir Kajević (Serbian Cyrillic: Acмиp Kajeвић, born 15 February 1990) is a Montenegrin football Midfielder, currently playing for FK Čukarički in the Serbian SuperLiga. His preferred position is central midfielder, although he can also play as a defensive and left midfielder.
Career
Born in Rožaje (SR Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia), he moved to Serbia where he made his debut as senior for BSK Borča during the 2008–09 Serbian First League and helped the club to win the league and be promoted to the 2009–10 Serbian SuperLiga. In his first top league season, he made 21 league appearances with 2 goals, becoming, along his countryman Stefan Savić, one of the most influential players in the club. These good displays didn't pass unnoticed in Montenegro, and both became regular members of the Montenegrin U19 team.[2] The following season, 2010-11, followed the tendency with Kajević making further 26 league appearances with 3 goals.[3] On 19 January 2012, Kajević joined the Swiss team FC Zürich, where he played for four years. On 22 December 2015, HNK Rijeka announced that they have signed Kajević.[4] Although he featured prominently in Rijeka's pre-season friendlies in January and February 2016, he missed the entire half-season due to injury. In June 2016, after Rijeka did not extend his contract, Kajević signed for FK Čukarički as free agent.
National team
After playing with the Montenegrin U19 team, he became a regular member of the Montenegro national under-21 football team since 2010. He was also part of the Montenegrin squad at the 2009 Mediterranean Games.[5]
