Ful stop for Alek

“He is a very straightforward person, he is easy to communicate with, he is very approachable and that is something that also helps the players.”

Jorginho, 26, who cost the Blues £50m, also believes he will bring something unique to the Premier League.

“Perhaps my style of play is not something that is seen in England,” he said.

“I really hope that it is a good fit for the game over here and I will certainly be doing everything I can to make sure it works out.

“I like playing just outside of my own penalty box, the player who receives the ball and organises the game.” FULHAM are set to a seal a

£20m move for Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic this week.

Slavisa Jokanovic’s long-running pursuit of Mitrovic is on the verge of completion after the Toon finally gave up on their hopes for a higher offer.

The Serbian, who scored

12 goals on loan last season to help Fulham win promotion, has already agreed personal terms.

Mitrovic’s arrival will take Fulham’s summer spending to £50m following the £30m double deal for Nice duo Jean-Michael Seri and Maxime Le Marchand.

The trio could be followed by £10m-rated Southampton left-back Matt Targett, with the two clubs locked in talks.

Chelsea midfielder Lucas Piazon is also in line to return to Craven Cottage for a third loan spell.
