Former Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino is backing a move for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.

Jovic is being linked with the Viola this summer.

Lecce sports chief Corvino told TMW: "He is an important player, who has had a great impact in the Bundesliga and even attracted the attention of Real Madrid.

"He is not a goalscorer, his CV speaks of something else, but he is an attacking and support player who has great dynamism, great speed, explosive.

"A really important player."
