Eintracht Frankfurt sign Dejan Joveljic in the wake of Jovic departure

Eintracht Frankfurt have signed Serbian forward Dejan Joveljic from Red Star Belgrade on a five-year deal after losing Luka Jovic to Real Madrid.

The 19-year-old striker has committed to the Bundesliga club, who finished seventh last season and reached the Europa League semi-final before losing to eventual winners Chelsea on penalties, until June 2024.

Serbia star Jovic joined LaLiga giants Madrid for a reported fee of €60 million (£53m/$67m) after taking the Bundesliga and Europe by storm in 2018-19.

The 21-year-old scored 17 Bundesliga goals and added another 10 during Eintracht's run to the Europa League semi-finals last season, leaving Joveljic with big boots to fill next season.
