It is understood that St Johnstone are interested in a free transfer for the 23-year-old Serbian left-back Nemanja Krsmanovic. Krsmanovic is available on a free transfer because his contract with FK Spartak Subotica concluded after the team was relegated from the Serbian top flight. Simo Valakari intends to strengthen his defensive options for St Johnstone's return to the Scottish Premiership this season. The defender has one cap for Serbia U21 and made 27 domestic league appearances last season, during which he scored two goals and provided three assists.
