According to a report in Voetbal24, Anderlecht are keen on bringing Fulham star Aleksandar Mitrovic in on loan this month.
This comes just days after EuroSport claimed that Fulham are ready to listen to offers for the Serbian striker.
It’s fair to say that Mitrovic has been off the pace this season, he’s only scored two league goals for Fulham, and he’s rarely seen in the starting XI these days, starting just one league game in the past two months.
Unfortunately, it seems as though Mitrovic is out of favour at the Whites, which is a real shame considering his goals fired them to promotion last season.
Mitrovic, of course, has played for Anderlecht before, so he may not be opposed to a return to Belgium, and perhaps even more interestingly, he was due to re-join the Belgian outfit on deadline day in 2018, before Fulham’s late swoop saw him join the Cottagers.
Mitrovic certainly has history in Belgium, and he’s scored plenty of goals there in the past, so this sort of move could be exactly what he needs to rediscover some of the confidence he seems to have been lacking in recent weeks.
From Fulham’s perspective, loaning out their only recognised number nine without getting a replacement in first makes very little sense, but with links to Dwight Gayle still circulating, they may soon have a Mitrovic replacement through the door.
It remains to be seen whether or not the ex-Newcastle United man heads out this month.
