The Premier League is calling Slavisa Jokanovic's side, they've stormed to within a whisker of the top two after a remarkable run of form.

They've not been beaten in the league since December 16th, a run that has catapulted them to within five points of Cardiff City.

With a favourable run in, they're not completely ruled out of a top two spot yet.

It's therefore hard to call exactly what risks they need to take in the summer, because it depends wholly on whether they're a Premier League side or not.

If they do find themselves going a stage further than last season and winning in the play offs, then the set of risks are far greater than those needed for a Championship assault.

Therefore, FLW look at the four risks Fulham must take if they're going to be a Premier League side next season. It's the level of football Craven Cottage is used to, it's the level the fans expect and, truth be told, it's the level of football their performances this season deserve.

 

The manager is contracted until 2019, I'm not even sure that extending that is a risk, but they must look to do so as quickly as possible. The resurgence has been down to his progressive tactics, his free flowing style and the environment he's created for his players.

He look set to guide them to the Premier League, something he achieved at Watford and we suspect he'll become hot property if he continues on his current career trajectory. They've got to get him tied down now..

I know £22.5m-rated Ryan Sessegnon is a huge talent and I know that the Premier League brings a great amount of money with it anyway, but I think they must risk cashing in their saleable asset to boost their transfer kitty even more.

They've got a good squad and a bit more money around the place could help them establish themselves as a Premier League force. That doesn't come cheap, but nobody at Fulham will be expecting to go up and immediately hit  relegation battle.

One player doesn't make a squad, but £50m can help build one.

If they sell one, they might be able to tie down some of their other players, those who are coveted by top flight teams but not as high profile as the wonder kid.

I'm thinking bumper new deals for Tom Cairney and Ryan Fredericks, two players interesting West Ham. They'd surely be happy to commit to Fulham if they were top flight.

Ojo and Mitrovic have both excelled at Fulham and both have top flight quality. There's got to be permanent deals there for both players as they've embraced Jokanovic's philosophy perfectly.

Both have huge potential too, they're young and could increase in value significantly. Furthermore, they're part of the reason the recent form has been so special and continuity is one of the keys to success.
