Chelsea are lining up a move for in-form Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, according to reports.

The Serbian forward sealed a permanent move to Craven Cottage over the summer after starring on-loan from Newcastle last season.

He has four goals in his opening five Premier League games for the Whites and, according to the Mirror, his performances have caught the eye of the Blues.

The 23-year-old could provide competition for out-of-sorts Alvaro Morata, who was dropped for Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff.

Olivier Giroud took his place and impressed, but the Frenchman turns 32 at the end of the month.

Chelsea are understood to be monitoring Mitrovic as a potential long-term solution up top.
