Southampton fans not impressed by reports claiming the club could spend £30 million on Fulham striker Aleksandr Mitrovic.

Southampton have been linked with a move for Fulham ace Aleksandar Mitrovic, The Express report.

The report claims Fulham would look for as much as £30 million for the Serbian.

Mitrovic played a key part in getting Fulham promoted during a successful loan spell.

BBC Sport reported that Fulham paid £22 million to sign him from Newcastle last summer.

He has had his best ever season in the Premier League, even though Fulham ended up getting relegated.

He has 11 goals in total, and is Fulham’s top scorer.

Given the rich price Fulham can gain from winning promotion and the fee they paid, it is understandable they want a high fee, but Southampton might be able to get better value elsewhere.

Mitrovic would give Southampton a more direct threat up front, and better hold up play.

Whether he is worth £30 million is another matter, and fans are not convinced.
