Jovetic's Viola pride Tuesday 3 June, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stevan Jovetic has described his move to Fiorentina as “a dream come true” and can’t wait to follow in the footsteps of Gabriel Batistuta.

The 18-year-old hitman signed from Partizan for a fee of around £5m and is seen as an exciting prospect for the future.

And today the Montenegrin starlet has explained the allure of the Stadio Artemio Franchi.

“I chose Fiorentina because they have a young and competitive squad and they are a great club from a stupendous city,” Jovetic declared.

“I think I am ready for the Italian League. Naturally it will take a lot of effort and a huge commitment to work.

“But since I was a boy my dream was to play in Serie A, especially in the stadium that Batistuta graced and today that has come true.”

The battle for a starting place alongside Romanian goal machine Adrian Mutu could be intense next term.

Fiorentina have already added Milan marksman Alberto Gilardino to their attacking ranks and also look set to keep hold of Azzurrini man Pablo Daniel Osvaldo and Giampaolo Pazzini.
