Every week, OneFootball introduces you to the new gems of world football. This Tuesday, we head to Belgium, where an 18-year-old striker turned the most important match of the season...
This Sunday, it was Clasico in Belgium! Anderlecht hosted Standard de Liège on the 10th day of the Jupiler Pro League.
The Mauves won 1-0 thanks to a goal from our gem of the week... Mihajlo Cvetković!
Last April, the 18-year-old striker was transferred from FC Cukaricki (Serbian D1) to Anderlecht, for 3.20 million euros.
Endowed with a rare striker's instinct, he knows how to slip behind defenses and strike with formidable efficiency in the final meters.
His talent was revealed very early: with the U17s of FC Cukaricki, he had scored 33 goals in the 2022-2023 season. A performance that opened the doors of the first team to him, where he did not hesitate to score his first goal as soon as he debuted in September 2023.
Last season, Cvetković took another step forward with 7 goals in 26 matches in the first team. Performances that earned him his first call-up to the Serbian national team last March.
Behind these figures hides a curious, hardworking and ambitious young player, aware that he still needs to improve in transmissions and in collective play.
Cvetković is not just a striker: he is a young prodigy on his way to the top, ready to write the future of Serbian football.
