Thursday morning reports see a planned swift move for Aleksandar Mitrovic if Fulham ‘cross this magic line.’

Slavisa Jokanovic “I repeat many times, Aleksandar Mitrovic is an important signing for us…we start our striker and he scores the goals.”

Talks of £20m for Tom Cairney are surely crazy talk even in today’s market – whether Fulham allegedly asking for it, or Newcastle offering.

Fulham boss Jokanovic: “It’s very, very difficult for us to be directly promoted but we are going to try…”

Newcastle 1 Fulham 3 – Jokanovic “I would be really, really surprised if next season Newcastle don’t get to play in the Premier League.”

Salvisa Jokanovic “Newcastle are top. They made great investments and are a big team. They deserve to be there.”
