After the good performances in the Greek league in Levadiakos' shirt and on the Macedonian national team matches, Goran Popov took the attention from few bigger European clubs. Several managers and scouts watched him on the friendly against Poland in May, so after his good performance it was only question of time when he will make a big transfer. Famous Dutch club SC Heerenveen showed the biggest interest, so yesterday they signed Popov with 4 years long contract.
