Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic says he can become like Erling Haaland and reveals a message from Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Vlahovic has 13 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions this season and both Milan and Roma are monitoring the 21-year-old.
“I try to improve every day. I always try different things in training. The trick is to repeat the same movements over and over. Ronaldo always wants to improve. That’s the secret of the champions,” the striker told La Repubblica newspaper.

“I try to improve every day. I always try different things in training. The trick is to repeat the same movements over and over. Ronaldo always wants to improve. That’s the secret of the champions,” the striker told La Repubblica newspaper.
“I feel the responsibility. You are a top player when you score two goals at my age, but you immediately become a flop if you fail to score for two games.
“I know how it works, I am focused and grounded. I don’t know where I’ll get. But I don’t want to have any regret.”
Fiorentina faced Milan in March and Ibrahimovic didn’t just swap shirts with Vlahovic.
“He wrote a message on it: ‘Good luck with everything, I wish you the best.’ He wrote it in Serbian, my language. It was unique," Vlahovic revealed.
The Milan striker is not the only source of inspiration for the 21-year-old.
“I watch Haaland. I try to understand his finishing and how he moves. Then I focus on my strong points and my weaknesses. It may be presumptuous, but with commitment, I can get there too.”
His contract expires in June 2023. What has the future in store for him?
“I don’t like to talk about my contract because we are not in a good position. Commisso will do everything to bring the club to the top because he is ambitious. We’ll see what happens in the summer. I am open to everything with the club.”
