Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic has revealed that he is happy to hear of interest in him from Arsenal.

The Gunners are thought to be tracking the Montenegrin's progress with the Viola, along with a number of Europe's elite clubs.

The 23-year-old insists that although he is happy in Italy, he could make the move to the Premier League in the future.

"I've heard about Arsenal's interest. It's a big pleasure for me to be on the radar of such a big club. I am happy about that," Jovetic told The Sun. "I've always had an affinity with Arsenal. It's a major club with a big tradition, one of the biggest in Europe.

"It's not easy to replace [Robin] Van Persie, who scored a lot of goals. Arsenal have plenty of players who don't score like Van Persie, but are also very good. They are still very strong. I often watch Premier League games on TV. It's one of the best leagues in the world and looks tempting for me.

"Maybe one day I will play there but I have a contract with Fiorentina and battling for a Champions League place in Serie A is the only thing I'm thinking about now."

Jovetic will be in action for his country on Tuesday night as Montenegro host England in their World Cup qualifying group.
