Luka Jović (Serbian Cyrillic: Лука Јовић; born 23 December 1997) is a Serbian footballer who plays as a striker for Serbian SuperLiga club Red Star Belgrade.
Club career
Red Star Belgrade
Jović grew up in Janja.[1] At a very young age, Jović was invited to trial with Red Star Belgrade by Toma Milićević, who had the confidence to train Jović in a youth team whose generation were all older than Jović.[2] On 28 May 2014, at the age of 16, Jović made his debut against FK Vojvodina in Novi Sad, where he broke Dejan Stanković's record as the youngest goalscorer in a competitive match in the club's history.[3] He scored the goal only five minutes[3] after he was brought on as substitute, and the final score of 3-3 was enough to give Red Star the 2013–14 Serbian SuperLiga title.
International career
On 11 December 2013, Jović scored a hat-trick for Serbia U17 in a 4-1 win versus Croatia U17.[4] In July 2014, Jović was called up by youth coach Veljko Paunović to Serbia's U19 squad for the 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[5]
