Fulham boss says Mitrovic can still improve

By Paul Warburton

Aleksandar Mitrovic is not the finished article, says Fulham boss Marco Silva.

The striker netted first-half hat-trick to sink Swansea this week and move top of the Championship scorers’ list.

Silva insists work in and around the box is at least one area in which the man in form can do even better.

Silva said: “Are there things he can improve? Definitely, there are things he can improve.

“All the best players have something to improve. Mitro has to be there to finalise - he has the same (favourite) spot in the box where he is strong, (but) we are working with him on his position in the box.

“We are working with him to attack more at not just the far post but other areas as well. It’s up to us to get the best for him and keep him improving."

Fulham, third in the Championship, face Coventry on Saturday.

They will again be without youngster Fabio Carvalho, who is still recovering from injury.
