'Fulham in conversation for surprise European contenders'

It is about now in the season when the narrative switches to who might be a surprise European contender - and I would stick Fulham in that conversation.

If they can keep key members of their team fit, then I do not see any reason why they should not believe they can finish in the top eight.

The recruitment of Emile Smith Rowe has taken the team's dynamism to a new level.

He has got a hearty mixture of talent and hunger, and looks to be one of the smartest pieces of summer business by any Premier League club.

Along with Reiss Nelson and Alex Iwobi behind Raul Jimenez, their attacking quality could hurt a few teams this season.
