Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic "is in a bit of a crisis", says Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Serbian says his compatroit Jovic will improve with more playing time under his belt. The 22-year-old joined Los Blancos last summer for a reported fee of €60million following an impressive 2018-19 season for Eintracht Frankfurt - where he scored 17 Bundesliga goals and found the net 10 times in the Europa League. However, the striker has struggled to convince the Madrid fans that he can be the main man upfront, and reports have emerged suggesting the LaLiga giants are looking to move him on to create room for Arsenal's Aubameyang or Dortmund's Erling Haaland. But, Mitrovic, who currently plays for Fulham, has no doubt Jovic has the talent to turn things around at the Santiago Bernabeu, adding that he just needs a run of games in Zinedine Zidane's team. "Luka is in a bit of a crisis," Mitrovic told Butasport. "When you are a striker, the most important thing is that you're on the pitch. That's my view. "I don't think he was on the field that much and didn't get that much of a chance. I was in such a situation at Newcastle. You just get a chance for five, 10, 15, 20 minutes, and during that time you literally try to do what you should do and shouldn't do, to show everyone that you are worth it, especially when you play in such a big club. You want to do everything and you burn out in that desire. "I think he just needs time to be on the pitch more. I'm convinced that with two or three 90-minute games the goals will come, but he is in that situation now and he has to continue work, believe in himself, train, and everything else will come. "Goals are like ketchup. When you shake it, it won't come out, and then when it comes, more comes out than expected. The most important thing is that he works and continues to train, be persistent and not give up. "I have told him a couple of times that he really has everything required to be a great attacker. "Playing at Real Madrid also carries a lot of pressure, responsibility and all that stuff, but again I say, he is young, has many seasons and a lot of football ahead."
