Club career

He started his career with hometown club FK Radnički Kragujevac.

Feyenoord

Before joining Feyenoord in the summer of 2003 for €7 million the forward had enjoyed 3 successful seasons at FK Partizan, making 60 appearances and scoring 20 goals for the club. Lazović found it difficult to break into the first team squad at Feyenoord and moved onto Bayer Leverkusen in 2005 on a loan deal.

He also failed to settle in at Bayer Leverkusen, and returned to FK Partizan in January 2006 on a 6-month loan deal. He had a decent half-season at his old stomping ground, scoring 5 league goals, but various reports continued about his apparent disruptive dressing room influence. In early May 2006, after the last league match of the season, Lazović was reportedly involved in a training ground bust up with teammate Niša Saveljić with bad blood even continuing later during lunch at the training facility.[1]

Vitesse

Over the summer of 2006, Lazović returned to the Eredivisie, this time with Vitesse. Vitesse paid Feyenoord €1.5 million for the forward, and Feyenoord agreed to pay the first year of his salary. To the dismay of many Feyenoord fans Lazović had an excellent season at Vitesse, rediscovering his scoring touch and being a serious contender for the league's golden boot for most of the season.

PSV Eindhoven

He attracted attention from PSV Eindhoven early on, before moving to them at the end of the season for €6.6 million, signing a five year deal. Lazović took over the number 9 jersey from legendary forward Patrick Kluivert, who was released and went to Lille OSC.[2][3]

Zenit

On 3 March 2010, Zenit Saint Petersburg completed the transfer of the striker from Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven almost for €5 million.[4] PSV general director Jan Reker said: "Danko Lazović told us about the interest of Zenit about a week ago. We've since discussed his situation several times and have eventually decided to cash in on him".[5]

Lazović made his Russian Premier League debut for Zenit on 13 March 2010 against Krylia Sovetov Samara, coming on as a substitute in the 54th minute for Konstantin Zyryanov.[6] Two weeks later, Lazović made his first impact on the scoresheet, delivering a perfect ball to set up Danny for the first goal against Dynamo Moscow. His first goal however, did not come until 9 July 2010 against Alania Vladikavkaz, as he helped Zenit to a 3-1 away victory.

On 30 September 2010, he scored a double against AEK Athens in the Europa League at the Petrovsky Stadium. He scored from the penalty spot in the 43rd minute, beating AEK goalkeeper Giannis Arabatzis then added his second in the 57th minute, poking home a cross from Vladimir Bystrov.[7] On 14 November 2010, he scored the Championship-winning goal against Rostov in the 40th minute, helping Zenit win it's second Russian Premier League title in four years. Lazović finished the season with five goals in the Russian Premier League and seven in total. He tied with Georgi Peev of Amkar Perm for second-best assistant in the RPL with seven assists.

International career

Lazović made his international debut for the Serbian national team on 27 March 2002, in a friendly match against Brazil in Fortaleza. He scored 11 times in 43 matches he played for National team.

When Serbia and Montenegro split, Lazović represented Serbia, and scored the first goal ever in international football for the new team; an equaliser in their friendly against the Czech Republic on 16 August 2006 in Uherské Hradiště, which they went on to win 3-1.

In March 2011, two weeks before a crucial Euro 2012 qualifier against Northern Ireland, Lazović decided to retire from the national team at the age of 27, choosing to focus on his club Zenit. On the same occasion, his club colleague from Zenit Aleksandar Luković also made the same announcement.
