Ranking The Best Football Transfers In Europe During Summer 2019/20

13. Luka Jovic - Real Madrid

Despite Karim Benzema having his finest season in years with Real Madrid, the Spanish giants are hungry for trophies and have added even more firepower to their team by purchasing Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Serbian international was hot property after smashing in 27 goals for Frankfurt last season, helping them to the Europa League semi-final against Chelsea in the process. While his goal tally certainly helped convince Madrid to purchase him, he also has a lot more to bring to the table.

Although he's quite a big and powerful player, he's got a good amount of pace, making him a nightmare for defenders on the counter attack. He's also good at laying the ball off to his teammates, which is a quality he shares with Benzema and one that Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane likes in his strikers.

He's clearly a great talent, but usurping Benzema as Real Madrid's number one will be a massive challenge. However, if he can learn from the Frenchman, he could be their main striker for years to come.
