LAZIO midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has backed Arsenal and Tottenham striker Dusan Vlahovic to become ‘one of the greats’.
The 21-year-old striker has banged in ten goals in 13 games for Fiorentina this season, while also scoring five goals for Serbia on the international stage.
His fine form has led to a number of potential suitors, with the Gunners and rivals Spurs keeping close tabs on the player ahead of a possible January swoop.
It has been claimed that Arsenal are willing to meet the Serie A side’s asking price, but Vlahovic isn’t convinced by their proposal.
Meanwhile Juventus have made signing the ex-Partizan ace their top priority having failed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
Any potential suitor will have to cough up around £70million for the centre-forward, who is tied down in Florence until 2023.
And Vlahovic’s Serbian team-mate Milinkovic-Savic believes it would be money well spent for any club.
Speaking to Fifa, the 26-year-old was asked his thoughts on Vlahovic and how good he can become.

To which he said: “Good? He’s not good, he’s outstanding.
“I’m quite certain the stats would back that up, considering his age.
“However, I think he’s the type of player who still gets annoyed when he doesn’t play well.
“So he’s definitely going to get better and get the world talking about him, which is something I like about him.
“In both training and matches, he never takes it lightly when he misses a chance, so he has a hunger for scoring goals and winning.
“I like how he wants to prove himself, so I think he’s bound to become one of the greats.”
