Slavisa Jokanovic wants to re-sign Fulham loan stars

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic is reportedly planning to re-sign the loan players that helped push the Cottagers to a Premier League return last season.

Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic netted 12 goals in 20 games after joining in January, while Southampton left-back Matt Targett also performed well following his loan move from the Saints.

According to The Mirror, Jokanovic will begin contract talks this week and wants to seal permanent moves for Mitrovic and Targett, as well as Chelsea duo Lucas Piazonand Tomas Kalas ahead of the new season.

The newspaper adds that Fulham are also interested in Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish and Bristol City defender Aden Flint.

The Cottagers’ return to the top flight was sealed after Tom Cairney’s strike against Villa at Wembley last month.
