Luka Jovic is a 21-year-old centre-forward who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. He has also featured for Serbia's national team on four occasions, having made his debut in June 2018 at the World Cup.

Jovic, despite popular belief, is actually on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Benfica. The confusion stems from the fact he has been with Frankfurt for two years now, but his parent club will be more than happy to take him back. When he was initially loaned out, he had a market value of around £1.8m; now, his market value has soared to £50m. Benfica will probably be eager to cash in while the iron's hot, instead of using him and letting him turn cold.

In just 24 appearances for Frankfurt this season, Jovic has scored 15 goals and registered a further six assists. He is also the youngest player to have scored five goals in one match in the Bundesliga.

As well as being able to play as a centre-forward, Jovic can also be utilised on either wing thanks to his speed and strength on the ball. He also has a degree of trickery when a defender takes him on, which serves him well in the final third, as he doesn't have to rely on teammates for service as often as other strikers might.

There's no doubt that he would become a sensation at a team like Barcelona, especially with the support he'd get from the likes of Lionel Messi. And he has plenty of time to improve as well, which makes him a fascinating player to watch.
