​Striker Mitrovic reckons his Newcastle form is good

Newcastle and Serbia international striker Aleksandar Mitrovic says he is playing some of the best football of his career in the Premier League, despite not yet matching his Belgian league goalscoring form.

The 21 year old has four goals in 20 appearances in all competitions so far in 2015-16.

"It's much more difficult than the football I've played before," Mitrovic told BBC Newcastle.

"I've played some of the best football in my life, the difference is in Belgium I played well and scored goals.

"Here, I play good but the goals don't come - but I will keep working and hopefully one day it will come."
