The Daily Mail says Hughes knows a return will be expected on any investments but is confident Santa Cruz can provide the extra firepower needed, if a fee can be agreed with Manchester City.
The Fulham manager has had a positive feedback on Santa Cruz's fitness and also explored the possibility of a short-term loan for LA Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan.
