Stevan Jovetić (born 2 November 1989) is a Montenegrin footballer who plays for Serie A club Fiorentina. His key attributes are dribbling, close control and technical ability.
On 8 April 2006, at the age of 16,[1] he made his senior debut for Partizan under head coach Jürgen Röber during a league match against Voždovac.[2]

He scored three goals during a UEFA Cup qualifying game against Zrinjski on 2 August 2007, in a 50 victory for Partizan, making it his first career hat-trick at only 17 years old.[3] During October 2007, he was linked to several high profile clubs such as Manchester United and Real Madrid.[4][5] He became Partizan's club captain in January 2008, after former captain Antonio Rukavina was sold to German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.[6]
On 10 May 2008, Serie A club Fiorentina signed him for a reported fee of £7.3 million (€8 million).[7] He scored his first goal for the Viola in the league match against Atalanta from the penalty spot on 5 April 2009.[8]

He started the 200910 season with a goal against Sporting Lisbon in a 11 draw at Stadio Artemio Franchi, which gifted Fiorentina their entrance into the Champions League group stages.[9] Other decisive goals included goals against Palermo, Sampdoria and Livorno. On 29 September 2009, he scored both goals in a 20 victory over Liverpool in the Champions League group stage.[10]
Jovetić was a founding member of the Montenegro national team who played their first game against Hungary in March 2007,[11] and is also a regular for the Montenegro U-21 team.
Fiorentina supporters gave Jovetić the nickname "Jo-Jo".[13] Because of his hairstyle, Jovetić is frequently compared by press and Fiorentina supporters to the famous Queen guitarist Brian May.[14] His idol is Roma forward and fellow Montenegro international Mirko Vučinić, whom he took the Montenegro U21 captain's armband from at the age of 17.

    League Tittles:

    Liverpool - 18

    Arsenal - 13

    Chelsea - 4

  • @POLChelseaFC Man Utd is the biggest team in england

  • No wonder Villa-Boas is going to try and buy this man, far as it goes Arsenal fans keep dreaming when it comes to options of Arsenal or Chelsea for a footballer it will always be Chelsea we are the biggest team in England.

  • Jovetić on left, Gervinho on right, and Rvp in the centre! This would be so fucking good!

  • Absolute insult to Baggio. Jovetic is a great player, but to call him the new Baggio is borderline heresy. Easy way to tell you're not Italian, lol.

  • Viva vero Montenegro

  • Jovetic is a fantastic talent but to even compare him to baggio is a joke, i hope your not itallian.. to make a comment like that would just be embarresing if you were

  • eh's good, but he's still far way from Baggio
