The Serbian striker has been backed by a club legend to eventually show his quality for Los Blancos
Former Real Madrid defender Michel Salgado insisted Luka Jovic is a "great striker," who needs time to settle in at the La Liga giant.
Jovic is still searching for his first goal for Madrid since arriving from Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt in a reported €60 million deal (£52m/$66m).
The 21-year-old Serbian international arrived in the off-season after scoring 27 goals in 2018-19. However, he is yet to open his Madrid account and has not found the back of the net since a Euro 2020 qualifier in June.
