Dušan Tadić (Serbian Cyrillic: Душан Тадић; born 20 November 1988) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays for English club Southampton and the Serbia national team. He is primarily a left-sided midfielder.[3]

He spent his youth at hometown club AIK Bačka Topola and FK Vojvodina, eventually playing in the UEFA Europa League with the latter. After two seasons with FC Groningen he joined FC Twente in 2012, where he earned a move to Southampton.

Tadić has over 30 caps for Serbia, having made his international debut in 2008, and represented the country at the Olympics in that year.

Club career

Vojvodina

Dušan Tadić grew up honing his skills within the youth ranks of his hometown's club known as AIK Bačka Topola. Eventually he signed a professional contract with FK Vojvodina and played his first competitive matches in the Meridian SuperLiga at the age of 18.[4] While playing for Vojvodina, he gained invaluable experiences playing against great top-flight teams (even against Atlético Madrid) and playing almost four full seasons without any major injuries or incidents. His potential in big European games was displayed in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase when he scored a goal against Austria Wien when he was only 20 years old.

Groningen

In 2010, Vojvodina sold Dušan Tadić to FC Groningen for the equivalent of €1.23 million. He had the third highest number of assists in Europe for the 2010–11 season. He played for Groningen from 2010 to 2012, before being transferred to FC Twente.

Twente

On 10 April 2012, it was announced that Tadić had signed for FC Twente in a €7.7 million move from FC Groningen.[5] In his debut game on 12 August 2012, he scored two goals against his former club.[6]

Southampton

Tadić scoring a penalty, his first goal for Southampton, as they defeated Arsenal in 2014

Tadić became the first signing under new Southampton manager Ronald Koeman on 8 July 2014, signing on a four-year deal. He joined for an undisclosed fee, thought to be £10.9 million.[7] He made his competitive debut on 17 August in their first game of the Premier League season, playing 74 minutes of an eventual 2–1 defeat away to Liverpool before being substituted for fellow debutant Shane Long. Tadić assisted Southampton's goal through a one-two with goalscorer Nathaniel Clyne.[8]

He scored his first Southampton goal on 23 September with a penalty against Arsenal in a 2–1 League Cup victory at Emirates Stadium.[9] His first league goal for the club came in an 8–0 trouncing of Sunderland on 18 October, in which he assisted four others.[10]

On 13 December, Tadić had a penalty saved by Tom Heaton as Southampton went on to lose 0–1 away to Burnley.[11] He scored in a 2–0 win over Arsenal on 1 January 2015,[12] and ten days later scored the only goal as Southampton defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford and rose into third position at their expense.[13] This marked Southampton's first league victory at Old Trafford since 1988.[14]

Tadić scored twice in a 3–0 win against Norwich City on 30 August 2015 for the Saints' first league win of the season.[15]

International career

Tadić was first named in the Serbia national squad in 2008, aged 19. It was not until 2011 that he became a regular fixture in both the squad and the team, and was an integral part of the national side during Serbia's unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Tadić scored his first senior goal for his country in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification game at home to Wales on 12 September 2012 in a 6–1 victory, coming on the occasion of his eighth full cap.[16]
