Fulham boss Martin Jol is urging Andy Johnson to pen a new deal.
AJ has struck five goals in two games for the Cottagers.
Johnson's contract runs out at the end of the season and asked over progress on a new deal, he added: "Other people are doing the negotiations.
"I will back him all the time and hopefully he is good for us this season because he has scored more goals today than he did in the whole of last season.
"But I feel Andy Johnson and Fulham is a good combination."
