Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic with a move to Chelsea.

According to The Mirror, Chelsea are interested in signing Mitrovic from Premier League rivals Fulham in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old striker has been superb for Fulham so far this season, scoring four goals in five Premier League appearances, according to WhoScored.

During the second half of last season on loan at Fulham from Newcastle, the Serbia international scored 12 goals and provided one assist in 18 Championship starts, according to WhoScored.

Mitrovic struggled to play regularly for Newcastle under manager Rafael Benitez, and Fulham signed the former Anderlecht star from the Magpies on a permanent deal in the summer transfer window for £22 million, as reported by The Mirror.

Chelsea are challenging for the Premier League title, and a player of Mitrovic’s quality and form will enhance their chances of winning the championship this season.
