Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has scored the most headed goals in Serie A since his debut in 2015.

As highlighted by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 26-year-old Serbian midfielder has scored 12 headers since making his debut with the Roman club back in 2015, the highest amount of headed goals for a midfielder in that time period.

The Lazio midfielder is well known for both his strength and his physical presence, being 1.91 meters tall, which he combines with technical skill and impressive passing.
