Career
Previously he has played with national team-mate Goran Pandev in F.C. Internazionale Milano Primavera, 2001/02, which won the youth league title. He was then loaned to lower level teams in Italy to gain some experience but failed to impress Internazionale and his contract with them expired. Stojkov has since played in Poland, Belgium, Serbia, Hungary, and currently plays for Aarau in Switzerland. He joined FK Partizan in summer of 2006 and played with the club the first half of the 2006–07 season. Although he did not made any league appearance, he played one match in the Serbian Cup.[1] He is renowned for his speed and dribbling abilities.
He has represented Macedonia on all youth levels before making his debut in the main national team in 2002.[2]
