Agent plays down winter Swansea move for Anderlecht's Milan target Mitrovic

The agent of Aleksandar Mitrovic has played down suggestions that his client could be leaving Anderlecht this winter.

The 20-year old Serbian striker is a target for Swansea City as they get set to lose Wilfried Bony to Manchester City but the player's representative, Nenad Jestrovic, has indicated that there will be no transfer this January.

"It would be difficult for him to leave Anderlecht in January, but he'll probably move in June," said Jestrovic.

"He's ready for a big club, he'll prove it.

"I think he's the best young striker on the market at the moment."

Additionally, Jestrovic suggested that 10-time Serbia international Mitrovic could quite possibly be on his way to AC Milan in the summer if the Italian giants come forward with an offer.

"Milan would be a nice club for Mitrovic to join, they're still a massive club," he added.

"I've heard about Milan's interest, but they haven't contacted me.

"They have my phone number. Whoever wants the player will have to talk to me.

"We hope he can go to a big club, he has to continue to train and be professional."

Former Partizan Belgrade youngster Mitrovic has netted 10 league goals in 20 outings for Anderlecht so far this term.
