A host of Premier League clubs are set to battle for the signature of highly-rated Serbian sensation Stevan Jovetić in the summer, according to the player's agent.
Fali Ramdani, who represents the Fiorentina ace, admitted Jovetic is a fan of the Premier League and a move away from the Stadio Artemio Franchi in the summer is a definite possibility for his client.
"Nothing will happen in the January transfer window. He will stay in Italy, and will stay at Fiorentina in January,” Ramdani told Sport.co.uk.
"A bidding war? It is a possibility. He likes the Premier League, so why not? He rates Serie A as well, and La Liga. They are all great leagues in Europe.”
The Premier League's so called 'Big Four' are all reportedly interested in the shaggy haired attacker, as well as Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Lyon.
The 20-year-old striker announced himself to the world during the Viola's UEFA Champions clash with Liverpool last month, stunning Rafael Benitez's side with a deadly double to secure the Italian outfit a 2-0 win.
The Montenegro international signed a five-year-deal with the Serie A side after joining from FK Partizan in a £7.2million deal in 2008, but is now valued at around £25m following his exploits for club and country.
Manchester United tried to sign him before he moved to Italy last year and remain amongst the favourites to capture the youngster's coveted signature next summer.
