# Mitrovic expected to move to big club this summer

Serbia manager Mladen Krstajic says that he expects Aleksandar Mitrovic to make a move to a big club this summer.

Mitrovic is currently out on loan to Fulham in the Championship, where he has made an instant impact.

The forward has scored nine goals in seven matches for club and country since signing for Fulham.

This includes the two goals he scored for Serbia against Nigeria earlier this week for his country.

[As quoted by Get West London, Krstajic said this:](https://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-striker-aleksandar-mitrovic-tipped-14466335)

> Mitrovic was very lucky to be coached by \[Fulham boss Slavisa\] Jokanovic, a coach from Serbia who knows him very well.

> Mitrovic did a very good thing in choosing to come to Fulham. I’m sure that after the loan he will move to an even bigger, better club where he can do much better.

> Personally it’s a great pleasure to have a player such as Mitrovic in our squad. He’s a killer up front, which he proved today.

Rafa Benitez was unwilling to work with Mitrovic at Newcastle, and could still allow him to leave the club ahead of next season.

Fulham are interested in making his deal permanent after his loan ends, however.
