Al-Hilal make fresh £46m bid for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic after completing £78m capture of Neymar... with west London side keen on signing Demarai Gray, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Timothy Castagne

Al-Hilal have offered £46m for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic after signing Neymar from Paris St Germain in a £77.6million deal.

Neymar, 31, has agreed a two year contract on a reputed £129million a year and 28-year-old Mitrovic hopes to join him.

Fulham want closer to £50m and are working on deals to sign Everton's Demarai Gray, Callum Hudson-Odoi from Chelsea and Timothy Castagne from Leicester City though their offer for the Belgian is considerably short of the Championship side's valuation.

Mitrovic recently returned to training with Fulham though manager Marco Silva admit the situation ‘is not easy’ after his star striker was left unsettled by interest from Saudi Arabia.
