Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Club Brugge attacker Antonio Nusa.
After achieving a top-half finish last term, Fulham have struggled to match that success in the first three months of the 2023-24 campaign.
Having won just three of their 12 league games (D3, L6), the Cottagers are sitting in 15th place in the Premier League table.
Their inconsistency in the final third has been a key factor behind their poor form, having scored just 10 league goals this season.
As a result, they are currently the joint-second lowest scorers alongside newly-promoted Luton Town and Sheffield United.

Fulham's tally is a far cry from last season when they finished as the ninth-highest scorers with 55 goals, which was partly due to Aleksandar Mitrovic's 14-goal league tally.
However, Mitrovic's departure to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal in the summer has left Fulham with a void that they have been unable to fill.
With Fulham struggling in the final third, they are set to prioritise attacking reinforcements when the transfer window opens in January.
According to Football Insider, the West London club have identified highly-rated youngster Nusa as a potential transfer target.
While Nusa would not be a direct replacement for Mitrovic, he would help strengthen Marco Silva's attacking options.

The 18-year-old predominantly plays as a left winger, but he can also operate on the opposite flank as well as playing through the middle.
Nusa has made 17 competitive appearances for Club Brugge this season, registering two goals and three assists.
The teenager, who has also represented Norway on four occasions, scored on his international debut in a 6-0 victory over Jordan in September.
Fulham could face competition for Nusa's signature, as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all previously been linked with a move.
The Belgian side will be in a strong position if they decide to entertain a sale, with the Norwegian under contract until the summer of 2027.
