Newcastle Youngster Named In "10 World Stars In The Making" List
He's just arrived on Tyneside but already the plaudits are flooding in for Mitrovic.
Aleksandar Mitrovic has barely been at Newcastle United five minutes and already he has received plaudits after being named in a "10 World Stars In The Making" list. The striker, who netted 28 goals last season, would appear to be a real gem of a signing if this list is anything to go by. Spanish newspaper Marca have produced the list, which includes the former Anderlecht forward - and they also appear to have taken a dig at the Magpies in the process.
"One of the most promising young strikers not on the books at a top club. "After scoring 44 times for Anderlecht, the Serbian starlet will cut his teeth in the Premier League at Newcastle."Newcastle's £13 million summer signing made two appearances in pre-season and he is set to make his Premier League debut against Southampton at St James' Park on Sunday (1.30pm kick-off), when he will hope to prove the sentiment of this article right. Interestingly the other nine names on the list are Inter Milan centre-back Jeison Murillo, Anderlecht midfielder Youri Tielemans, Ajax attacking-midfielder Davy Klaassen, Manchester United winger Memphis Depay, Schalke 04 forward Leroy Sane, Lyon attacking-midfielder Nabil Fekir, Boca Juniors defensive-midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, Basel striker Breel Embolo and Fluminense attacking-midfielder Gerson.
