Aleksandar Mitrović

Aleksandar Mitrović attacks space, checks runs behind the defence, and pins centre-backs as the spearhead of the attack. Mitrović broke through at Anderlecht in 2014-15, winning the league and finishing as the top scorer. He scored in the Tyne-Wear Derby. A 2021-22 Championship haul of 43 goals defined his claim to be a premier striker. Serbia’s all-time top scorer marks his international note. In a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, Mitrović remains the spearhead, linking play with one-touch layoffs. His physical strength helps him shield the ball and press high, creating space for runners. Mitrović finishes moves and gets shots off quickly when the chance arrives.
