Fulham are confident of keeping hold of manager Slavisa Jokanovic amid interest from Crystal Palace and West Ham.

The Mirror says Palace considered him, along with Sean Dyche, Mark Hughes and Mauricio Pellegrino, before appointing Frank De Boer.

But Jokanovic's desire to bring more back-room staff members than the south Londoners were willing to ­accommodate was one stumbling block.

Another would be the £6 million buyout clause in Jokanovic's contract.

West Ham also have Jokanovic under consideration, though have granted Bilic a four match reprieve before making a decision over his future.
