Jovic is a young Serbian striker, who came up through the youth of Red Star Belgrad. He left the club in 2016 for the Cyprus' club Apol. Limassol, who sold him one day later for a profit of 4 million to Benfica. The Portuguese team later loaned him out to Eintracht Frankfurt, where he exploded and right now is targeted by various top clubs.

The reason is simple: He already scored 15 goals and gave 5 assists in his first Bundesliga season, while as well scoring 7 times in his 7 Europa League appearances. The Frankfurt striker is another poacher, only passing the ball 17.3 times per game. His main strength can as well be found in the box, averaging 2.5 shots in this part of the field. His biggest advantage is his age. He still is only 21 years old and got huge potential in him. The lack of experience may put Real Madrid off, but his numbers warrant the possibility of the Spanish club taking the risk.

How he would fit Madrid: Luka is a young player, which seems to match with the recent transfers of Florentino Perez. He is very dangerous in the box and his distinctive poaching ability are quite rare for such an young attacker, which brands him as an exceptional talent. He lacks in experience and, as Icardi, Jovic is not the best player when it come to the buildup before the chances. Apart from those facts, that would need to improve in the Bernabeu, he is worth taking the risk and could be the next big number 9 in the white jersey.

Costs: £60 million
