The Fulham striker is said to have put clubs including Everton on alert.
Everton fans are reacting to reports linking their side with a move for the Fulham striker, Aleksandar Mitrovic.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Mitrovic has placed a number of clubs, including Everton, on alert ahead of the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old cost Fulham £20 million from Newcastle United in the summer, but is said to have grown unsettled since the Cottagers sacked Slavisa Jokanovic as manager.
The newspaper claims Mitrovic feels his game was revitalised by his fellow Serbian – who brought him to Fulham on loan last season – and has told friends things are not the same with Claudio Ranieri in charge at Craven Cottage, which could lead to Everton, Chelsea, and potentially others, ‘hardenening up’ their interest.
But would those of a Toffees persuasion want him at Goodison?
This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

He’s *****
Colin Gillbanks @cjgillbanks:
He’s really *****. A proper alehouse player. Slow and cumbersome.I’d be appalled if we were genuinely interested in him.

**** no Dixie Dean’s statue is more mobile than him
Not all Evertonians share that view, mind…
Mitrovic has scored seven goals in 17 Premier League games this season, and it is unlikely that Fulham would let him go easily or cheaply.
Everton have often lacked a focal point this campaign, with Cenk Tosun frequently omitted as he struggles to find form.
Would the Fulham striker be a good fit for Everton?
