Luka Jovic is worthy of being a successor to Luis Suarez in Barcelona

DBasia.news –  Mladen Krstajic, Serbian national team coach, has an interesting opinion about his foster children playing at Eintracht Frankfurt, Luka Jovic. According to him, Jovic has a style of play that is not much different from Luis Suarez.

Luka Jovic became a new sensation in the Bundesliga. Joining Frankfurt from Benfica at the start of this season, Jovic transformed into a goal machine. Until now, the player has packed 22 goals and seven assists in 36 matches.

Not surprisingly, Luka Jovic became the target of some European elite clubs. Reportedly, Barcelona became the club most interested in bringing in the 21-year-old player.

One of the reasons Barcelona brought Luka Jovic is to provide options on the front lines besides Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. Because both players have entered old age.

Mladen Krstajic considered Barcelona will get players like Suarez when bringing Jovic. The coach considers Jovic a classic type of striker.

“I can compare the way Jovic plays with Luis Suarez. He is a classic goalscorer. He is a player who determines and treats the ball very well. He has a good understanding of tactics,” Krstajic said.

Barcelona’s desire to get Jovic is not a figment. The Blaugrana has sent a scout guide to see Jovic’s action against Inter Milan in the Europa League last 16-second leg match. The player scored the only goal of the game.

“He adapted faster than I expected in the Bundesliga. He had to continue working because his development would not be stopped,” continued the coach.

At present, Luka Jovic is still a loan from Benfica. According to   Transfermarkt, The former Red Star Belgrade is worth no less than 55 million euros.
