Fulham starting XI for start of next season - if Marco Silva gets all his transfer targets.
Fulham stormed to the Championship title last season and are back in the Premier League.
The London club are preparing for their first campaign in the top flight under Marco Silva.
He has experience of managing in the Premier League with Hull City, Watford and Everton and may feel he has a point to prove at this level.
There is no doubt that the Cottagers need to add some more quality to their ranks to ensure they are competitive next term.
The likes of Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will be back at Craven Cottage so these are exciting times to be a Fulham fan again.
They have made their first signing of the summer in the form of midfielder João Palhinha from Sporting Lisbon and more additions are expected to be on the way.
