Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are among the clubs reportedly interested in Aleksandar Mitrovic of Fulham.

Aleksandar Mitrovic is a player in demand, with Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and West Ham United among the clubs reported to be interested in the Fulham striker.

According to The Sun, Tottenham, West Ham, Everton and Leicester City all are interested in securing the services of Mitrovic from Fulham in the summer transfer window.

Fulham have been relegated from the Premier League, and many will find it hard to envisage the 24-year-old striker plying his trade in the Championship next season.

After all, the former Newcastle United striker has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 34 Premier League appearances for the Cottagers this season, according to WhoScored.

Moreover, during the 2015-16 campaign, the striker scored nine goals and provided four assists in 22 Premier League starts for Newcastle, according to WhoScored.

However, Fulham caretaker-manager Scott Parker has suggested that the London club will do their best to keep hold of Mitrovic, a stance that will not be very appealing to the likes of Tottenham, West Ham and Everton.

Parker told Sky Sports about Mitrovic: “It will be vitally important really, he’s a top-class centre-forward and I think you’ve seen that evident in the last two games.

“I know what the owners think, I know their ambition and certainly it is going to be to challenge. He’s a top-drawer centre-forward but at the same time I think that this football club we’ll be doing everything they can to keep a player like Alek.”
