Mitrovic in action for Fulham against Wolves in the Premier League

The Serbian had a nightmare introduction to the Premier League when he joined Newcastle United as a youngster in 2015 where he only managed 17 goals in 72 appearances for the Magpies across three seasons before leaving to Fulham initially on loan but turned permanent this season.

Despite Fulham struggling in the Premier League this season where they sit 19th in the table, Mitrovic has been their only shining light with seven goals; one goal more than Morata and Giroud's goals tally combined.

The Serbian striker has been dominating the Premier League defenders with his physical presence in the box. His aerial prowess could have earned him more goals if he was playing for a top-half team.

Mitrovic is finally proving that he can be a top striker in the Premier League as he is now on his third season playing in the English top flight football.

Mitrovic's physical presence and his dominant play are exactly what Chelsea has been missing since the departure of Diego Costa and the Serbian can step up to task and be the lead striker at Stamford Bridge.
