Luka Jović (Serbian Cyrillic: Лука Јовић, pronounced [lûːka jǒːʋitɕ]; born 23 December 1997) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a striker for German club Eintracht Frankfurt, on loan from Portuguese club Benfica, and the Serbia national team.

Early life

Jović was born in the small village of Batar near Bijeljina, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina to Milan and Svetlana Jović. At the age of five, he started playing football in Loznica, where he was spotted in 2004 and offered to play in Mini Maxi, a development league for kids aged between 4 and 12 in Belgrade. After just one game where Jović scored three goals his father was offered €50 for each game he played and 2000 dinars for travelling costs from Batar to Belgrade. At one of those games he was scouted by Toma Milićević, Red Star's scout who invited him to trial with Red Star Belgrade.[2] His playing style attracted comparisons to Darko Pančev and Radamel Falcao, who is also his idol.[3][4]

Club career

Red Star Belgrade

Youth

Jović was offered the chance to play for Red Star Belgrade in 2005. Before he committed, his father took him to train with Partizan, who had been trying to sign Jović for some time. They offered his father 200 euros per month for Jović to play with them, but he insisted on staying with Red Star.[2] He was prolific in front of goal for the youth teams and is regarded as a wonderkid to watch out for in the future.

2013–14 season

On 28 May 2014, at the age of 16 years, five months and five days, Jović made his professional debut against FK Vojvodina in Novi Sad, where he broke Dejan Stanković's record as the youngest goalscorer in a competitive match in the club's history.[5][6] He scored the goal only two minutes[5] after he was brought on as substitute, and the final score of 3–3 was enough to give Red Star the 2013–14 Serbian SuperLiga title.

2014–15 season

On 18 October 2014, Jović became the youngest player ever to play in Eternal derby at the age of 16 years, 9 months and 25 days, breaking the previous record of Dejan Milovanovic who was 17 years and 6 months old at the time.[7] Jović missed some crucial chances, but in spring half of the season scored six goals. His first goal of the season came against Vojvodina, in a match where Red Star celebrated its 70th birthday. He then scored against Spartak, a double against Borac and a decisive goal against Voždovac, ahead of the Eternal derby clash.[8] He missed the end of the season and the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand due to injury. On 17 May 2015, he signed a three-year contract with Red Star to last until 2018.

2015–16 season

From the beginning of the 2015–16 season, Jović started as a first choice in Red Star attack along with Hugo Vieira and scored 3 goals in first 5 games. He scored again against Voždovac a winning goal and brought another win to Red Star at Stadion na Vračaru. He scored another game winner in Subotica, against Spartak. In November 2015, a racketeer from Loznica threatened him and his family that if they did not pay money to him, that he would "break Jović's legs".[9] A suspect was apprehended immediately afterwards.[9]

Benfica

In February 2016, Jović signed with Portuguese champions Benfica until 2021.[10] On 9 March, he debuted for the club's reserve team in a 2–2 home draw against Sporting da Covilhã in the Segunda Liga.[11] He debuted for the first-team on 20 March, as a substitute, in a 1–0 away victory against Boavista in the Primeira Liga.

Loan to Eintracht Frankfurt

2017–18 season

In June 2017, Jović joined Eintracht Frankfurt on a two-season loan while his new club secured an option to sign him on a permanent basis.[12][13] He made five appearances as they won the 2017–18 DFB-Pokal, and scored the only goal of the win at FC Schalke 04 in the semi-finals on 18 April 2018,[14] but was an unused substitute in the 3–1 final win over FC Bayern Munich.

2018–19 season

20-year-old Jović became the youngest player to score five goals in a Bundesliga game when he did so in a 7–1 home win over Fortuna Düsseldorf on 19 October 2018.[15]

International career

On 11 December 2013, Jović scored a hat-trick for Serbia U-17 in a 4–1 win against Croatia U-17.[16] In July 2014, he was called up by youth coach Veljko Paunović to Serbia's U19 squad for the 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[17]

In May 2018, Jović was named in Serbia's preliminary squad for the FIFA World Cup in Russia.[18] On 4 June, he made his international debut in a friendly match against Chile, coming on as a substitute for Aleksandar Mitrović in the 84th minute.[19] Later in June, Jović was included in the final 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup,[20] where he appeared on a match against Brazil.[21]
