Luka Jovic signs for Real Madrid

One of Europe's hottest properties, Luka Jovic, has joined Real Madrid. 

The 21-year-old Serbian striker has left Eintracht Frankfurt for the Bernabeu, in a deal understood to be worth €60 million.

He has signed a six-year contract.

Jovic scored 27 goals in 47 appearances last season for the Bundesliga outfit, who reached the last four of the Europa League.

Manager Zinedine Zidane is going to refresh his squad as Real look to get back to the top table.

Eden Hazard is also expected to join from Chelsea, with discussions believed to be at an advanced stage to snap up the Belgian star from Chelsea for a fee believed to be worth over €100 million euro.

After winning three successive Champions League trophies under Zidane, Real Madrid lost to Ajax in last season's competition and could only manage third place in La Liga.

Jovic joined Frankfurt on loan from Benfica in 2017.  He is seen as a long term replacement in Spain for Karim Benzema.

It's Real's third signing of the summer after Rodrygo agreed to move from Santos and Eder Militao was acquired from Porto.

Gareth Bale's first team future at the club looks to have come to an end.
