Fulham owner Tony Khan has revealed he needed to convince Aleksandar Mitrovic to stay at the club last year after they dropped down into the Championship.
The west London club were relegated from the top flight in 2020-21 after finishing 11 points adrift of safety under Scott Parker.
After deciding to replace Parker with Marco Silva, Khan, who also owns wrestling company AEW, wanted to prioritise keeping Mitrovic at Craven Cottage, but has admitted that this was a tough task and he had to 'beg' the Serbian striker to stay before he signed his new contract.
