Is Luka Jovic finding his form at AC Milan?
Jovic has started scoring in the last couple of matches for Milan.
Playing time has been limited for Luka Jovic since he joined Milan on a free transfer from Fiorentina on the last day of the transfer window. However, he has recently capitalized on the chances he has been given, scoring 6 goals in the last 6 matches, making a case for a regular spot in the starting lineup. Jovic has struggled to recapture the goal-scoring form he displayed at Frankfurt in the 2018/19 season, and he has not really made a significant impact at his subsequent clubs. Therefore, for an ordinary football fan, it is heartening to see him rediscover his goal-scoring touch.
Luka Jovic for AC Milan 2023/24 (all competitions):
◉ 576 minutes played
◉ 15 games
◉ 5 goals
◉ 1 assists
Olivier Giroud is the clear first choice in AC Milan's attack, and since they play with only one striker, it's challenging for Jovic to secure more playing time. However, with 2 goals in the last match, he might earn a chance in today's game as they visit Empoli.
Jovic needs to use his recent performances and goals as a fresh start for his career. At just 26 years old, he still has plenty of football ahead of him. However, spending the rest of the season on the bench is not optimal, so for his sake, one must hope that he proves he is the right successor to the aging Olivier Giroud.
