Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic hails 'big signing' Aleksandar Mitrovic

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic has hailed the impact of January loan signing Aleksandar Mitrovic at Craven Cottage.

The Serbian has netted 10 goals since joining the Championship outfit from Newcastle United, including his side's second in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Leeds United.

"Mitrovic is good player, he's made a great job for us, I repeat many times, he's an important signing for us, he scored another goal and worked in the offensive and defensive set pieces," GetWestLondon quotes Jokanovic as saying.

"He can hold the ball, he made important things and at the end what is important is we start our striker and he scores the goals.

"He made his job and I expect he will go in similar level to push hard like he is right now."

The win over Leeds helped Fulham cement their position in third place in the Championship, moving them within five points of the automatic promotion places.
