VICKO SEVELJ believes Aberdeen have their very own "Pittodrie Pogba" in Ante Palaversa.
Croat Palaversa has quickly established himself as a favourite with the Red Army and added to that when he hit his late winner against Hearts.
Dundee United defender Sevelj and Palaversa are close friends after coming through the youth ranks of Hajduk Split and their country's age-group teams together.
Sevelj admitted the midfielder was the pick of their age crop and when he hits top gear he has similar attributes to the current Juventus and French star Paul Pogba.
He reckons his switch to Jimmy Thelin's Reds can get him back to that sort of level.
"It is the best option for him," Sevelj insisted. "When you go on loan you don't really settle in. He had had a lot of loans and now he is at one club.
"He can show his quality for a few seasons. He is an all-round midfielder probably best at box to box.
