Savic tells Jovetic to choose Man City over Arsenal

Fiorentina defender Stefan Savic has told teammate Stevan Jovetic to make the move to Manchester City.Arsenal are also interested in the Montenegro star.

"Jovetic can play for one of the top clubs. I hope he does because he is one of my closest friends," Savic told the Mail on Sunday. "I would recommend City to him. I think City's a rising team, one of the best clubs in Europe. They will win trophies and be in the Champions League every year.

"It was hard for me there because I came straight from the Serbian League. I won a league title but after a season, I knew I had to play regularly to improve as a player. So I left - it was my decision.

"It is different for Stevan. He has five years experience, he could play straight away with Sergio Aguero or Carlos Tevez. He is a second striker, similar to Rooney because he's good with the ball, gifted technically and intelligent. Off the pitch, he is a quiet guy but on it, he fights. I don't need to advise him how to score against my friend Joe Hart."
