Former Fiorentina star Nenad Tomovic is backing Luka Jovic for success with the Viola.

The Serbia striker is set to join Fiorentina on-loan from Real Madrid.

Tomovic told La Nazione: "I met him some time ago in a park in Belgrade, we live in the same area and we talked while our children were playing ... The history of Fiorentina had not yet come out, otherwise we would have entered the subject for sure.

"Then I learned that (Nikola) Milenkovic had put a good word, even two, in Italian.

"And I seem to understand that in the end the marriage will take place."
