Fulham are among the teams assessing Flamengo star Pedro this winter.

The striker has enjoyed a great season in the Brazilian top flight, netting 33 goals and four assists in 57 games.

Per Jorge Nicola, Fulham are ready to make a bid for Pedro ahead of the January transfer window.

Manager Marco Silva needs a striker after the struggles of Raul Jimenez, Carlos Vinicius and Rodrigo Muniz this term.

The issue for Fulham may be the price for Pedro, who has a reported £52 million release clause.

Such a price may be a little beyond Fulham, but the Premier League club are financially powerful.

The sale of a player such as Palhinha may also give them more money to spend on Pedro.
