Fulham have identified three priority signings following Aleksandar Mitrovic's mega-money exit to Al-Hilal, sources have told Football Insider.

The Cottagers confirmed the departure of Mitrovic on Saturday (19 August) – with the Serbia international joining the Saudi Pro League outfit for a reported £46million.

And replacing the forward's goals will be the top priority for Fulham and manager Marco Silva with just days left of the transfer window.

To that end, the London club are ready to swoop for KAA Gent striker Gift Orban - who has already notched six goals in six games this season.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (21 August) that Fulham are ready to challenge Tottenham for the 21-year-old's signature.

Mitrovic hit 15 goals and grabbed four assists in 28 games last season - and notched 43 goals in 46 games as the Cottagers were promoted in the previous campaign.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Silva is keen to strengthen his side elsewhere following the windfall.

It is believed that Fulham want to add new arrivals in both full-back positions.

Antonee Robinson is currently the first-choice left-back and signed a new contract just months ago - but Silva wants to add competition for places to his side.

Meanwhile, Kenny Tete has begun the season as the top right-back but a new signing could yet change that.

Fulham ran out 1-0 winners against Everton on the opening day but slumped to a 3-0 derby defeat against Brentford on Saturday (19 August).
