Filip Kostic has hailed the goalscoring prowess of Eintracht Frankfurt teammate Luka Jovic, telling bundesliga.com his fellow Serbia international "is just unbelievable".

Kostic has hit it off big time with Jovic, who is second in the Bundesliga scoring charts on 15 goals after 25 matches. The Hamburg loanee is also a huge fan of the other two members of Frankfurt's prolific forward line Sebastien Haller and Ante Rebic.

bundesliga.com caught up with the 26-year-old to discuss Eintracht's free-scoring trio, the Eagles' upcoming trip to Fortuna Düsseldorf, life in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt and his path to professional football...

bundesliga.com: Eintracht are very attack-minded with Haller, Jovic and Rebic as the front three. How does this influence your game?

Filip Kostic: "If all three play together up front, which happens quite often because all three of them are outstanding goalscorers, then I have more of a defensive role."

bundesliga.com: How do you feel about the role compared to the one you played at VfB Stuttgart and Hamburg?

Kostic: "The position is definitely different, but it suits me. I like playing right out from the back, even if this means I have more defensive work to do."

bundesliga.com: What's your relationship like with Haller, Jovic and Rebic?

Kostic: "The atmosphere is fantastic. We spend time with each other away from training and the lads are all really great."

Kostic: "We were extremely ambitious against Düsseldorf and were carried forward by the crowd. It was just our night and everything went in."

bundesliga.com: Jovic scored five goals in that game. What do you make of your teammate?

Kostic: "Jovic is just unbelievable! He has outstanding timing and a feel for the goal."
