Andrija Zivkovic has declared his intention to switch to Benfica with the Partizan Belgrade starlet set for a winter move.
Zivkovic has been lapping the training grounds at Partizan and made the step up to the senior squad in August this year.
Such is his talent that Serbia have already given him two senior caps with the national squad, and the winger looks set for a bigger stage.
Benfica are not averse to taking on rising talent, having already scouted out Graafschap's Poland youngster Piotr Parzyszek.

"There many Serbs at big teams and I have a very good friend in [Benfica forward] Lazar Markovic, as well as Nemanja Matic and [Benfica midfielder] Filip Djuricic. I hope everything goes well."
Zivkovic's season so far has seen him grab four goals in 10 league games, while he also made a Europa League appearance.
