Fulham boss Martin Jol is keen for Andrew Johnson down sign a new deal after he proved the matchwinner in the 2-0 win at Odense. The 30-year-old's brace helped the Cottagers end an eight-game winless run and secure three points in Group K of the Europa League at the Odense Stadion.
Jol said: "He is top scorer in Europe if you count qualification matches too. He was a handful tonight.
"He hasn't done it in the league but sometimes you have to give him the opportunities too.
"The second goal was unbelievable. The ball was high and he took it on his shoe.
"It was amazing. It came from nothing.
"We have offered him another two years so there is a lot of confidence in him.
"Sometimes it's better to start talking in December or January.
"Andy is a good boy and a good worker.
"He has one year left and hopefully we can change that. If not, it is in his hands.
"He is a team player and will give you his all.
"He was good for us today and Fulham has been good to him before my time here.
"He has had a lot of big injuries and didn't score a lot of goals last year, just two, maybe three. It's a good marriage, you know?
"I want Andy to be with us and stay here. I don't think there's a lot of difference [in the negotiations].
"We have spoken a couple of times in the last couple of weeks."
