Dinamo Zagreb has officially assigned its prestigious number 10 jersey to Luka Stojković, following the departure of Gabriel Vidović. The 22-year-old offensive midfielder has emerged as a pivotal figure for the Croatian club, solidifying his place after a standout performance last season.

Stojković's ascent to wearing the iconic number is seen as a natural progression, given his increasing importance and responsibility within the team's attack. His contributions last season were significant, tallying 13 goals and 12 assists across 42 appearances in all competitions. In the domestic league, he was particularly effective, recording seven goals and 12 assists in 29 matches.

His impact was also felt in crucial European fixtures, notably a standout performance against Genk where he scored twice in the second leg, nearly forcing extra time. Stojković has also started the new season strongly, contributing an assist in the league and playing a key role, including a goal and an assist, in a decisive 5-0 victory against Kauno Žalgiris.

Now, Stojković is set to embrace the symbolic weight of the number 10, a jersey historically worn by many of Dinamo's greatest players. He will aim to live up to the expectations that come with this revered number as he continues to develop his career with the club.
