Fulham boss Parker: We must keep Mitrovic

Fulham boss Scott Parker says they must keep hold of Aleksandar Mitrovic for next season's Championship campaign.

Mitrovic scored the winner from the spot for victory over Bournemouth on Saturday.

"It will be vitally important really, he's a top-class centre-forward and I think you've seen that evident in the last two games," said Parker.

"I know what the owners think, I know their ambition and certainly it is going to be to challenge.

"He's a top-drawer centre-forward but at the same time I think that this football club we'll be doing everything they can to keep a player like Alek.

"We've spoken about next year and the plans ahead and I think the main focus for Mitro is finishing the season like he has (on Saturday), a performance, the winning goal."
