Fulham boss Parker: We have just one recognised striker

Fulham boss Scott Parker admits he wants to add fresh firepower to his squad this month.

Parker's immediate priority is a trip to Burnley to face a team five points above his own, but the former England international admits his focus this month will also be on acquiring more firepower.

"At the beginning of the year we recognised where we needed strengthening and I thought we did that very well," he said.

"We have one recognised striker in the building in Aleks (Mitrovic) so of course I think it is an area where we are light and an area where we would look to try and strengthen if we can.

"At the same time, we realise the challenges what January brings and this time even more so because of what we're in.

"It's an area where we are light, albeit we have a very, very good centre-forward, I think it's clear in most squads in the Premier League there's a bit more in depth there than what we've got so we'll try and do something if we can."
