Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has claimed that he has enjoyed the best spell of his entire career during his loan stint at Fulham.
Mitrovic joined Fulham on a temporary basis in January and has scored 12 goals in 20 games for the club across all competitions, playing a major role in earning promotion via the playoffs.
The 23-year-old's longer-term future remains uncertain, but he suggested that he would be open to making his switch to Craven Cottage permanent.
"I don't know (about my future). Of course I am really happy here. I had the best three-and-a-half, four months of my career. We will see what happens. I am still a Newcastle United player, I have two years left on my contract, so we will see," Mitrovic is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.
"I want to enjoy now. I have one day to rest and then I have to work hard, and I will focus on that. I have people - my agent and people who speak with the clubs - and we will see what happens. I just want to enjoy the moment. I am really happy now.
"Of course Fulham will be successful in the Premier League for sure. I am delighted with the style we play, the players, with the staff. Every part. The fans really help a lot and I think I play some of the best football in my life, the last four months, and I really enjoyed it."
Mitrovic played the full 90 minutes at Wembley as Fulham beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the Championship playoff final yesterday.
