Eintracht Frankfurt fans should enjoy Luka Jovic while they can. Because the Bundesliga’s top scorer is attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs on the continent after scoring 12 goals in all competitions so far this season.

Bild reported this week that Liverpool were in the race for the so-called ‘Serbian Falcao’, while Tottenham Hotpsur have also been linked by Caliciomercato. And, after the failed experiments of Roberto Soldado and Fernando Llorente, the hugely promising Jovic could finally be the forward who eases the goalscoring burden off Harry Kane.

But have Spurs just been given the news that should encourage them to take the initiative in the race for one of Europe’s most exciting young strikers?

According to the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has high hopes for the fresh-faced duo Rhian Brewster and Dominic Solanke at Anfield, believing that the strike pair have a big future on Merseyside.

This surely suggests that a move to Tottenham is more realistic heading into 2019. And if Liverpool are yet to really sure up their interest, Spurs must seize this chance to press ahead with a deal for a man who has outscored Robert Lewandowski in Germany’s top flight this season.
