Incoming Aberdeen striker Oday Dabbagh has been likened to former Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Juventus star Mario Mandzukic by his old manager.
The Dons look set to tie up a deal for the 26-year-old Palestine international striker on loan from Belgian side Charleroi.
And former Croatia No.2 Ante Mise - who managed Dabbagh when he was in charge of Kuwait champions Al-Arabi and also Mandzukic - reckons there are similarities.
The former Hadjuk Split boss said: "For me, Oday was the best ever young striker I coached.
"He reminded me of Mario Mandzukic because of his style and I coached him too.

"I want to say he is a great guy. He helped us win the league in Kuwait for the first time in 20 years.
"His technical skills, his ability, his speed, how he understands football is unbelievable.
"I’ve been a coach for about 15 years and he is the best young striker that I have ever had, for sure.
“Believe me, I was a coach at Hadjuk Split, a great team in Croatia. I had great players with me, but Oday is the best striker I’ve ever had.
"I have always believed he can go to the top if he picks his career moves right."
