Fulham 'have £20m Aleksandar Mitrovic bid accepted'

Fulham have reportedly had a £20m bid for Aleksandar Mitrovic accepted by Newcastle United.

Mitrovic spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham, scoring 12 times in 17 Championship appearances as the Cottagers gained promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a return to Craven Cottage since the transfer window opened, and according to Sky Sports News, a £20m offer has now been accepted by Newcastle.

The report claims that the Serbia international has left Newcastle's training camp to finalise a move to the London outfit.

Mitrovic has scored 17 times in 72 appearances for Newcastle since joining the Magpies from Anderlecht ahead of the 2015-16 campaign.

The forward could make his debut for Fulham in Wednesday's pre-season friendly against Sampdoria.
