With 17 goals and 5 assists in 32 Bundesliga games, Jovic is currently the hottest prospect in the footballing world right now. The Serbian striker made a name for himself after scoring an incredible 5 goals against Fortuna Dusseldorf and becoming the youngest player to do so in the German League.

When Kovic, the then Eintracht Frankfurt coach took over at Bayern Munich at the start of the season, the much more attack-minded Hutter came in. He liberated Jovic, gave him a free hand to roam around and express himself, and made him a preferred option alongside Rebic and the French target man Sebastien Haller.

A strong dribbler, the 21-year-old Serbian is able to take on defenders and create chances for himself and others, making at least 1 key pass per game. Jović is able to get a large amount of power behind his shots, something which makes it incredibly difficult for a goalkeeper to save.

Real Madrid were in pole position to sign Jovic but pulled out of the deal as Frankfurt increased its asking price for the Serbian, as per the Spanish reports. But given the riches the clubs have nowadays, it's not long before Jovic moves to a big club.
