This little tot could be one of Newcastle United’s future football stars to watch out for - if he follows in his dad’s footsteps.

Aleksandar Mitrovic posted a photo of his partner Kristina Janjic holidng his son Luka on Instagram.

Mini Mitro was sporting last season’s away shirt, shorts and socks, while Kristina donned the home shirt.

The photo, which was uploaded on Monday afternoon, has already attracted thousands of likes and comments.

James Dallard replied: “Mini Mitro loves the Toon.”

Davey Daley added: “Can’t stop laughing at the bairn’s face - just like Mitro.”

Earlier this month, the 21-year-old Mapgies striker, who has almost 20,000 followers on the social media platform, spoke about his future at the club since their relegation and the news that Sporting Lisbon were interested.

He said: “I have four more years of [my] contract with Newcastle and I haven’t received any official approach so far,

“I’m happy in England, of course, but it’s always good to see my name linked to a club like Sporting - it’s a big club.

“If something comes up they will always have to talk with Newcastle first, and only then with me and with my representative.”

Mitrovic made 35 appearances for Newcastle United during the 2015/16 season, scoring nine goals in all competitions.
