Fulham manager Scott Parker wants his team to complete its transfer business as soon as possible.

The London club are in the relegation dogfight, as they aim to stay in the Premier League for more than one season.

While the Cottagers did sign 11 new players in the summer, more fresh faces may be needed to stay out of the bottom three come the end of the season.

"We were three or four games in before we did a lot of our business and a lot of points were at stake really," Parker told reporters about their summer window activity.

"So, of course, we'd like to try and get the business in early because it gives you an opportunity to work with the player, gives them a quicker time to settle in, and obviously you don't miss as many games.

"We understand the difficulties of this window and it is a short turnaround but I'd like to do business early, I'd like to get players in.

"Hopefully we can get some help because we do need it in certain areas."
