Ace rejects Real & Chelsea rumours

Fiorentina ace Stevan Jovetic has brushed off talk linking him with moves to Real Madrid and Chelsea. Jovetic is regarded as one of the best young attackers in Europe and he came to the attention of a number of top clubs when he scored twice against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League this season. Real Madrid are understood to have held a long-term interest in Jovetic and tried to sign him before he joined Fiorentina in 2008. Chelsea are also believed to be keeping tabs on the 20-year-old, but Jovetic claims he is only focused on life with Fiorentina. "Real Madrid and Chelsea? Fiorentina are my only thought," Jovetic told Gazzetta dello Sport. Jovetic, who was recently named Montenegrin Footballer of the Year for 2009, admits his two goals against Liverpool were his highlight of the past 12 months. "That was some mad stuff," added Jovetic. "When I got back home, I couldn't sleep." "Liverpool is Liverpool and I scored two goals against Gerrard and Torres."
