17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Aleksandar Mitrovic

16. Heading Is Arguably His Strongest Attribute... But He Can Score All Types Of Goals

Not since Andy Carroll departed Tyneside for Liverpool in January 2011 have the Magpies had a really physical aerial threat up front - but all of that will change with Mitrovic in a black and white shirt. Tall, muscular and willing to put himself about, Mitrovic is just 20 and so has time to develop his body even further and become even stronger. Heading is very much his forte and he loves nothing more than out-jumping a defender to power the ball past the keeper using his neck muscles to propel him forward. However, that is not to say heading is all he can do - because, if you watch a Mitrovic highlights reel on Youtube, you will see that he is capable of scoring deft chips, medium-range strikes, caressed finishes and, perhaps most importantly, poacher's goals.
