Former Newcastle United boss Steve McClaren isn't surprised by Aleksandar Mitrovic's impact on-loan with Fulham.

McClaren signed the 23-year-old from Anderlecht in the summer of 2015 and the Serbian international, scoring five goals before the former England boss was sacked in March 2016.

“He came in as a young boy at Newcastle, he needs to be loved, needs to be believed in, trusted," McClaren said.

“I think Jokanovic, being Serbian, I think they've got that connection and once you get the best out of him, he's not only a good player outside the box, bringing other players into it, he scores goals."
