Fulham boss Roy Hodgson hopes David Elm can use his contract situation as motivation.

Elm struck his first goal for the club in the win over Burnley this week.

"What we're going to find with him, I'm sure, is that it's going to weigh heavily on him game after game but it was really good to see that he repaid the faith we've always had in him," Hodgson said.

"We've seen a good player in him and we have always believed that if he got his chance, he is good enough to take it."
