Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is reportedly a shock transfer target for West London rivals Chelsea.
The Mirror report that Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has been following the 24-year-old’s progress closely, who has scored six goals in six games for club and country this season.
The Serb joined Fulham in a £22m deal in the summer, having scored 12 goals in 15 Championship games in an impressive loan spell last season.
Mitrovic’s explosive start to the campaign leaves him joint-second in the Premier League scoring charts, and Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic is reportedly impressed with how quickly he has adapted to the rigours of the top-flight.
Sarri, whose team have got off to the perfect start by winning their first five matches, is yet to be convinced that £60m man Alvaro Morata has what it takes at the top level.
That, coupled with Olivier Giroud being 32, means the Italian could be in the market for a forward of January.
Mitrovic is contracted to Craven Cottage until 2023, and Jokanovic will be desperate to keep hold of arguably his biggest asset.
