Chelsea boss Sarri (again) full of praise for 'great player' Jovic

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has again sung the praises of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic.

Jovic opened the scoring for Frankfurt in the first leg of the teams' Europa League semi-final clash in Germany, before Pedro's strike earned Chelsea a 1-1 draw to take back to London.

The 21-year-old striker, who has been linked with Chelsea, has been the Bundesliga side's star man this season, with Thursday night's goal his 25th of the campaign in all competitions.

Sarri praised the Serb going into the game and looking at the second-leg, stated after Thursday night: "We need to be careful.

“We need to play with the same mentality.

“They are very dangerous especially with Jovic, a great player. They are dynamic and very aggressive."
