Chelsea interested in signing Fulham striker?

Chelsea are reportedly having a good look at Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has changed his fortunes since making the switch away from Newcastle United.

The Serbia international joined the Cottagers on a permanent deal from Newcastle United this summer after playing a key role (on loan) during their backend of their promotion campaign from the Championship.

Since then, he has been in stunning form for the west London side with four goals from just five appearances and this sees him behind only Chelsea's Eden Hazard in the goalscorers' list.

According to The Mirror, Sarri is mulling over an approach for the 23-year-old as he is uncertain over the abilities of Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud to find the scoresheet.

Both Morata and Giroud have struggled to score on a regular basis for the Blues this year but the latter may have won over the manager on Saturday after contributing a couple of assists in the 4-1 triumph over Cardiff City.

Chelsea secured victories in the first five league games of the season for the first time since 2010 and this sees them at the top of the table ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.
