Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic is happy in Florence, despite talk of renewed interest from Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old Montenegro international has enjoyed a truly excellent start to the season, scoring three goals in four Champions League matches, including a stunning brace against Liverpool in September.

Jovetic told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I feel great attention around me. Every one says hello to me in Florence. They smile at me: 'You are great' is the recurrent phrase.

"I like this attention. It hasn't been easy to get used to Italian football. Here there is a lot of tactics. You never stop 'studying'."

He continued: "I don't want to make comparisons. As a young lad my idol was Shevchenko. A phenomenon. And I could also describe some of Batistuta's most beautiful goals to you. I downloaded them on my phone and watch them in continuation."
