Fiorentina striker Luka Jovic happy to be away from Real Madrid

Fiorentina striker Luka Jovic admits he's happy to be away from Real Madrid.

Jovic was sold by Real to the Viola last summer.

He told La Repubblica: “From the beginning, it all went wrong. I left Eintracht Frankfurt too early, after only one season at the top.

“All the spotlight was on me, but it was difficult for a 21-year-old to fit in at the biggest club in the world. Between injuries and unfair pressure, it was an unhappy experience."

He added: “Here I can grow and do well, I thank (president Rocco) Commisso, who strongly wanted me. It's the ideal environment to find myself in."
