Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is ready to open new contract talks with striker David Elm.

The Mirror says Hodgson is ready to open contract talks with Swedish striker Elm - about penning a new two-year deal at the club.

Elm has been a surprise success in recent weeks, scoring against Burnley in the last game, after his unheralded arrival at Craven Cottage.

Now Elm is looking to sort out his new arrangement. Fulham have a two-year option in his contract but the terms are due to be finalised - and he hopes his performances will earn him a rise.
