| Aleksandar Mitrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Митровић, pronounced ; ; born 16 September 1994) is a Serbian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal and the Serbia national team. He is widely regarded as one of his country's greatest ever strikers, and also one of Fulham's best ever.
A youth product at Partizan, he turned professional after a loan at Teleoptik, and was a regular as they won the Serbian SuperLiga in his first season. At the age of 18, Mitrović was named among the top 10 talents under the age of 19 in Europe by a selection of UEFA reporters. He then joined Anderlecht for a club record €5 million, and scored 44 goals in 90 games across all competitions in a two-season spell. He won the Belgian Pro League in his first campaign at the club, and was the league's top scorer in his second. In 2015, he moved to Newcastle United for £13 million. In 2018, he was loaned to Fulham, and joined them permanently after helping them achieve promotion to the Premier League.
Mitrović helped Serbia win the 2013 European Under-19 Championship, being voted the best player of the tournament. That same year, he played his first game for the senior national team and has since earned over 90 caps, representing Serbia at the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup, as well as UEFA Euro 2024.
