clay-making ability or creative ability because there's few players in Europe that can kind of deliver across the same way as he can and that's probably his biggest strength. It's getting the ball into the box and creating chances and he just has this knack.

When he had the ball out in the wing, you knew it was going to end up near the striker's head, kind of, or in a dangerous position, and Costic is that sort of a player. So it's kind of surprising that Frankfurt are willing to let him go, but he will be a huge addition to Juventus and Serie A.
