Slavisa Jokanovic Claims Fulham Must Spend Heavily to Ensure Premier League Survival After Promotion

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic has admitted the Cottagers must spend big in order to ensure Premier League survival next season after achieving promotion to the top flight on Saturday.

Jokanovic's side won promotion at the second time of asking - having suffered play-off heartbreak the year before against Reading - beating Aston Villa 1-0 thanks to a goal from captain Tom Cairney.

Serbian Jokanovic has been linked with the Chelsea job should the Blues decide to ditch current manager Antonio Conte, whose future is uncertain with reports claiming Maurizio Sarri could be set to take over at Stamford Bridge.
