The Serb has hit a dry spell at Juve this season.

Stoichkov said, "He is a centre forward who has everything, starting with his imposing build. And he has also been affected by physical problems such as groin and low back pain.

"It seems to me that he doesn't receive the same balls that he benefited from when he was in Florence...

"However, Dusan is a Balkan like me: if he doesn't score he becomes paranoid just like what happened to me. My head was melting...

I'm convinced that when Vlahovic returns to scoring goals, it will be a bitter mess for the opposing defenders..."
