The Serbian is the rising star of world football. Still only 23 years old, Milinkovic-Savic has generated interest from almost all the big clubs in the world, with a handful of them regularly monitoring him right now and it is easy to see why. The Serbian is a perfect mix of a big burly frame and silky ball skills, with the goalscoring cherry on top. In the 2017/18 season, Milinkovic-Savic scored 12 goals from 35 games in the Serie A and 2 goals from 8 games in the Europa League. He also registered 9 assists to his name.

The Serbian is often referred to as the Paul Pogba of Serie A, to highlight the fact that he is a complete midfielder. But in truth, Milinkovic-Savic is rapidly overtaking Pogba in all fields. The Serbian can defend, he can attack, he can tackle, he can score goals, he is the perfect blend of attack and defence, adjusted as per the requirements of the game. And he is showing the kind of consistency that is doing wonders to his reputation. In the 2016/17 season, Milinkovic-Savic scored 7 goals and had 10 assists to his name, a huge improvement from the 3 goals and 1 assist in the 2015/16 season.
The Sargent is yet to score a goal this season, but with his qualities, you know it is coming sooner than later.

About the author
Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5 million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
