Fulham have made an offer to sign Partizan Belgrade’s teenage striker Dusan Jovanovic, according to reports from Serbia.

The well-connected Mozzart Sport, which broke the Whites’ interest in appointing Slavisa Jokanovic weeks before he was confirmed as Kit Symons’ permanent successor at Craven Cottage, has the details on the Cottagers’ pursuit of the 18 year-old forward dubbed ‘mini Mitro’.

The 6ft 8in Serbian youth international, who was born in Smederevo like Mitrovic, has scored 43 goals in 73 games for Partizan’s age-group sides, including three goals in four appearances in the UEFA Youth League. The Serbian giants could be forced to sell their prized asset owing to their current financial predicament with Jovanovic understood to be open to the prospect of continuing his development in England.
