The Serbian striker Luka Jović is highly rated among the next gen striker in World football. The 21-year-old has got a lot of potential and will eventually be one of the very best in future. This season, he has already scored 22 goals and also provided 6 assists for Germany and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Jović fits the profile of the type of striker Barcelona wants, a young bright talent who can coexist with Suárez and learn from the master himself how to play the Barcelona style of football. His ability to lead the forward line and play off the shoulder of the last defender is a great asset to have at such a young age. The 181-cm tall striker is also a great aerial threat to the opponents. His playing style involves a lot of lay-offs which is just the doctor ordered for Barcelona.

He might be the perfect replacement of ageing Luis Suárez in Barcelona and there is no secret that the Catalan side has been monitoring his movements for quite a while now. Recently a managerial team comprising of Eric Abidal, Pep Segura and Ramon Planes all went to Milan to see his performance in the Europa League round of sixteen where he scored the winner and has sent Frankfurt through to the quarter-finals and their dream of lifting a UEFA Cup since 1980 is still alive.

Barcelona are also aware of the fact that they have to act as quickly as possible considering the amount of interest there is for the on-loan Benfica striker.
