Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic: I've enjoyed it at Fulham

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is unsure of his future at parent club Newcastle United.

The Cottagers take on Aston Villa at Wembley in the Championship play-off final on Saturday, when they will have a one-off opportunity to clinch a lucrative spot in the Premier League for next season.

If they do, then the Cottagers will likely use some of the £120million-plus windfall to try and sign Mitrovic permanently this summer.

“I've loved my time here and I don't know what's going to happen after. But why not stay? Maybe," Mitrovic told Sky Sports.

“I want to focus on the game on Saturday, then I have time to rest and focus on the World Cup.

“I needed the gametime so that's why I came here. I needed to be on the pitch, to score goals and to have the feeling that I have now.

“I needed to get confidence - especially because of the World Cup, but also because of myself.

“I feel good and honestly I have never been in better shape in the whole of my career."
