Luka Jovic’s impressive form for Eintracht Frankfurt has understandably attracted attention.

Tottenham Hotspur were reported to be tracking Jovic last year Calciomercato reported, following up their interest in the striker when he was a teenager [via The Mail].

This week he has been linked to Barcelona, with Chelsea also said to be interested and prices of £50 million mooted.

His national team boss for Serbia has done little to calm the hype.

Jovic’s ‘enormous potential’ has been talked up by Mladen Krstajic in an interview with German outlet T-Online.

He said: “He’s a classic goal-getter with great control of the ball and a good understanding of the game. I’d probably compare him to Luis Suarez

“He’s courageous and dangerous at any moment because he’s always lying in wait for his chance or any inattention from the opponent.

“He sometimes appears impassive or lacklustre, but that’s even more deceptive for defenders and makes him even more of a threat.”
