Aleksandar Mitrovic is expected to be on the move this summer and now we have the first potential bidder for the striker. The Serbia international has had a great 2018, getting promoted with Fulham to Premier League and then doing great with national team to score 12 goals in the calendar year and participate at the World Cup.
But after a terrible season his club has had, the 24-year-old could be leaving Craven Cottage and such scenario is expected. According to the Express, Southampton are planning a £30 million bid for Fulham striker. Mitrovic scored 11 goals for Fulham this season but his future is up in the air after the club were relegated from the Premier League.

Paul Le Guen admitted his Oman side were far inferior to Australia after they were thumped 4-0 in the Asian Cup on Tuesday.
The Socceroos dominated their opponents at Stadium Australia, as goals from Matt McKay, Robbie Kruse, Mark Milligan and Tomi Juric sealed a comprehensive victory at Sydney s Stadium Australia.

Manchester United great Andrew Cole expects Erik ten Hag to act decisively on Harry Maguire s future at the end of the season, having found a brilliant defensive duo in Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.
Maguire has struggled for regular minutes since Ten Hag took charge last year, only making five starts during an encouraging Premier League campaign for the Red Devils.

Ten Hag has taken several big decisions since arriving at Old Trafford – not least to allow Cristiano Ronaldo s departure – and Cole expects him to be similarly firm with Maguire…

The striker was QPR s hero in May as he scored the decisive goal in the play-off final versus Derby County at Wembley to send Harry Redknapp s side back into the top flight at the first time of asking.

Borussia Dortmund interim head coach Edin Terzic and Axel Witsel lauded Youssoufa Moukoko following his historic Bundesliga performance.
Moukoko became the Bundesliga s youngest ever scorer in Dortmund s 2-1 defeat at Union Berlin on Friday, aged 16 years and 28 days.
