Jovetic has 'Arsenal affinity'

Montenegro star Stevan Jovetic admitted a move to the Premier League would be "tempting" amid talk of interest from Arsenal.

The 23-year-old Fiorentina striker, who fill line up against England in a World Cup qualifier, has been mentioned as a possible summer signing for Arsene Wenger's side.

"I've heard about Arsenal's interest," Jovetic was quoted as saying by The Sun.

"It's a big pleasure for me to be on the radar of such a big club. I am happy about that.

"I've always had an affinity with Arsenal. It's a major club with a big tradition, one of the biggest in Europe.

"It's not easy to replace [Robin] van Persie, who scored a lot of goals.

"Arsenal have plenty of players who don't score like Van Persie, but are also very good.

"They are still very strong. I often watch Premier League games on TV. It's one of the best leagues in the world and looks tempting for me.

"Maybe one day I will play there but I have a contract with Fiorentina and battling for a Champions League place in Serie A is the only thing I'm thinking about now."
