Fulham striker Mitrovic: Roma move has been close

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic admits he came close to joining Roma in the past.

Mitrovic also spoke of Serbia teammate and Juventus ace Dusan Vlahovic.

He said, “It was a great goal (against Torino), typical of the great striker he is. He had two chances and scored a goal.

“It was nice to see five compatriots of mine playing in the Turin derby, I usually follow Serie A. There are many Serbian players.

“Dusan works so much in training, he is never satisfied. If he keeps this mentality, and I am sure it will never change, he will improve even more."

Mitrovic added: “In the past, I was close to Roma. I feel well in England, but in the future, never say never. Aside from Roma, I like Napoli and their fans."
