Fulham boss Scott Parker says they need to work the summer market after their opening day defeat at home to Arsenal.

Parker afterwards urged his side to learn from the loss as they bid to stay up after returning to the top-flight.

And the Fulham manager - who has recruited Antonee Robinson, Alphonse Areola, Kenny Tete, Ola Aina, Harrison Reed and Mario Lemina so far this summer - added that the club need to bring in more signings before the transfer window shuts in October.

“I think, like anything, when you are a team like us you need to quickly learn and that has been the constant message from me since we have been back," said Parker.

“This year we are going to lose football matches, but what we can't afford to do is when you go and lose two or three on the bounce - which is going to happen with us - you can't let it cripple you.

“You need to learn from it, you need to develop, you need to be big enough to understand where the mistakes are made.

“With regards to bringing players in, I think we all realise when you step up from the Championship to the Premier League it is a massive jump. We have seen it in spurts today and what that quality is.

“For sure, for us to evolve and us to develop we need to bring players into this team that are going to improve us and going to make us better. That's our aim.

“Obviously in the short space, we have brought players in that I feel will improve us, but still there are the people in the background doing all they can to help us, the team and the club."
