Stevan Jovetic flattered by Premier League interest

Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic has admitted that he is flattered by reported interest from the Premier League.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent months, while Manchester City are also understood to be monitoring the Montenegro international.

"It sure is nice when you are interesting big clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City," the Daily Star quotes Jovetic as saying.

"It feels good because the English game currently has probably the strongest league in the world.

"I'm very comfortable in Italy but the Premier League is at the top of the football world – and perhaps the best. We will see what happens in the future."

Jovetic has scored 12 goals in 24 games for Fiorentina so far this season.
