Arsenal have signed 18 year-old Partizan, Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrović according to Sky Italy
Nothing wrong with us signing kids with potential.
You know of him then? I was just about to copy frusciante's post into the houseboat thread
Wiki paints a promising picture of this player. Partizan's top scorer with 10 league goals and 15 goals overall from 36 games. 18 years old. Height is over 6'2" and was in the league's team of the year.
We've done quite well if we have snapped him.
Never heard of him Y. At 18 he'd be in the Galindo/Wellington/Campbell category though. If he doesn't make the grade elsewhere he won't get to play here.
He looks mean
Non-story.
if its true, i just hope it doesnt push sanogo from the talent category into the second choice bracket
Mean is good. We need some mean looking players.
As an alternative to Wiki, from the Partizan site
Aca Mitrovic is of extremely strong physique and it`s been a long time since Partizan had such type of forward, someone who can chest high and long balls, keep it in possession while the midfielders arrive forward. He also has a great header, good timing and excellent positioning in the box, great and neat both feet shot. Moreover, Mitrovic gained self-confidence recently, scoring some crucial goals. He also has so-called football impudence, a great characteristic for one modern forward. Mitrovic signed a 4-year deal with Partizan June 2012.

Might be a Giroud replacement :angel:
If he is their highest scorer at 18 and has three years left on his contract I'm not sure they'll let him go for cheap. And if they are not selling him for cheap, Sky Italia's veracity is under sever doubts.

His wiki page also says -
Arsenal Career[edit] On the 4th June 2013 it was reported by sky italy that Mitrović had transfered from Partizan to Arsenal. His first cousin Nilain Levroji, a goalkeeper had earlier been approached by the Gunners but famously rejected the trial, opting instead to party at his father's European pigeon racing competition victory.

clearly someone's having fun.
18 league goals in 25 appearances? has to be fake.
😆 brilliant if true.
Edit: moved vid to rumours/lies thread seeing as it concerns us
Wow. Scored a goal out of nothing there.
This guy read as a good signing. Potentially in the class of Jovetic kind of talent from eastern europe. Not sure how he has gone under the radar with his age and the kind of season he has had
Because not even the hipsters spend much time watching Partizan Belgrade?
West Ham have had a bid for Negredo rejected. Ambition from them.
They were also after Bony some time ago. Doesnt Negredo have some silly third-party ownerships though?
