Aleksandar Mitrovic

Yes, Mitrovic is still caught up in that weird stage of his career where he’s a popular figure with the fans, very good in flashes, though it’s not quite clear just how he’ll turn out.

Even into his third season as a Magpie, there are suggestions he could be allowed to leave St. James’ Park, with Dwight Gayle preferred for much of last season.

The 22-year-old notched against Wolfsburg, though didn’t look too interested in the loss to Mainz, so a big performance today is in order.
