Real Madrid striker Jovic asks Mitrovic about Arsenal

Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic is aware of interest from Arsenal.

The Daily Express says Jovic has asked Serbia team-mate Aleksandar Mitrovic, of Fulham, what life in England is like with Arsenal among the Premier League clubs said to be keeping tabs on the striker.

The 22-year-old has endured a difficult first season at Real Madrid, producing a mere two goals in 24 appearances.

That is not the return that was expected from Jovic when Real paid in excess of £50million to sign him a year ago off the back of a 27-goal campaign for Eintracht Frankfurt.

While there is hope at the Bernabeu that Jovic can still prove a long-term successor to Karim Benzema and lead the line, his immediate future is unclear.

Zinedine Zidane is reportedly tracking a number of high-profile attackers including Kylian Mbappe and Sadio Mane, which could harm the Real forward's minutes.
