Aleksandar Mitrovic doesn't regret joining Newcastle United.
His career at St. James' Park took a nosedive this season as the Magpies returned to the Premier League and he was subsequently shipped out on loan to Fulham last month.
"They [Newcastle] are big names in Serbian football, and here in English football, and they told me it's the hardest league in the world, so I wanted to see what it was like," said Mitrovic.
"I joined Newcastle because from a young age I supported them. I don't why, but they had black and-white colours, the same colours as Partizan Belgrade.
"I chose Newcastle and I didn't make a mistake."
The Serbian striker also revealed that a move to Anderlecht was all but done, before the Belgian club pulled out, reportedly due to financial reasons.
"On Tuesday night, we made a deal that in the morning, I should fly to Bordeaux," Mitrovic said of his January transfer saga.
"After I made the deal with Bordeaux, I went for a sleep and then Anderlecht called my brother who is also my agent.
"I was thinking, because I'd already played for Anderlecht, I would adapt faster because I know people there. That's why I changed my mind."
