10 Things We Learned During Newcastle’s Summer Transfer Window

2. Anderlecht Fans Weren't Lying About Aleksandar Mitrovic's Personality

Daily Mail Sports reporter Craig Hope wrote about Aleksandar Mitrovic prior to the Belgian's move to Tyneside. The article asked Anderlecht fans to describe their striker and their responses were fairly accurate. "A five-year-old trapped in a monster's body" was mentioned by one fan and another said that "people say he is crazy and there are lots of stories, but he has a very nice nature and is still very young." A Belgian journalist said:

"With his haircuts and tattoos everyone thought he was crazy €“ but he is not crazy. He has character. He's a very professional guy and is very hard working. He will fight for every ball. He wants to improve himself and has great self-belief."

The striker received a booking just five seconds into his first game of the season and followed that up with another yellow in his second competitive fixture. The Serbian forward started up front against Arsenal last weekend and was sent off for a clumsy tackle on Francis Coquelin meaning he is now suspended for three games. His admiral determination and industrious tenacity will soon be replaced by fans for stupidity if Mitrovic does not learn to channel his aggression better.
