Former Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic has been caught up in one of the most bizarre stories of the transfer window.

Inter Milan striker Jovetic was on his way to Monaco to join the French champions and caught a helicopter from Nice airport to watch their game with Marseille.

But also on the helicopter was Marseille chairman Jacques-Henri Eyraud who did not recognise him, started a conversation and told him they were signing Jovetic.

Jovetic then revealed who he was, Eyraud lost his temper and angrily told him a medical had been booked and a deal had been agreed.

Jovetic is still expected to join Monaco.

The Ligue 1 defending champions are also closing in on a remarkable deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Kylian Mbappe which will see him loaned back for a year.

Earlier today, leaked images of Jovetic in Monaco's No.10 jersey, currently worn by Mbappe, offered a big hit about both moves.

Jovetic's permanent deal is expected to go through after the 6-1 win over Marseille.

Jovetic has returned this season to Inter Milan, which he joined permanently last season before being loaned to Sevilla.

He'd previously been loaned to the Italians during his disappointing spell in the Premier League at the Etihad.
