Marco Silva has downplayed the chances of Fulham bringing in a new striker before the transfer window closes despite fresh links with Chelsea’s Armando Broja.

The Cottagers were held to a goalless draw at home to Everton on Tuesday evening despite having 25 shots and 70 per cent possession, with the match underlining their need for more firepower up top.

Raul Jimenez leads the side’s scoring charts with just five Premier League goals, but he was forced off at half-time against Everton with a hamstring injury.

Fulham have been linked in recent days with a last-minute, £50million swoop for Chelsea forward Broja, but Silva has now played down the likelihood of any new additions.
