Fulham have spoken to Brighton about a permanent £15m deal for Neal Maupay, who has also spoken to Everton, after the striker's move to Nottingham Forest stalled.
Maupay has been of significant interest to a number of Premier League sides this summer with the Frenchman having impressed for Brighton last term.
he Frenchman has been Brighton's top scorer in each of the last three seasons but but was left out of the squad altogether for Saturday's home draw with Newcastle.
Graham Potter said when asked about his striker's absence that he was 'considering things' regarding his future. That quote came amid belief that the Frenchman was bound for Nottingham Forest but his move to join Graham Potter's side has stalled.
Fulham, who are rivalled by Everton and Italian Serie A club Salernitana, are interested in Maupay as an alternative to Mitrovic.
Despite enjoying an impressive first game of the season against Liverpool in which he scored twice and looked a real handful against a world class backline, question marks hang over the Serbian's head regarding whether or not he can cut it in the top division.
Maupay is out of contract with the Seagulls next summer and has seen his place in the pecking order fall with the club having signed Deniz Undav this January.
