Football League World's Fulham fan pundit Charles Jones has lavished praise on the shoulders of Harrison Reed, with the 24-year-old midfielder having sparkled since arriving at Craven Cottage on loan from Southampton this summer. 

Reed has been gifted regular game time by Scott Parker this term, making a total of 17 Championship appearances for the Whites, underlining his importance to their push for promotion to the Premier league.

His all action displays in the centre of the park have made him something of a fan favourite amongst the Craven Cottage faithful and as such a permanent move to west London may not be out of the question for the 24-year-old.

We caught up with Jones last week to discuss this possibility, whilst also reflecting on the player's performances for the Cottagers so far, and here is what our fan pundit had to say:

"It really depends on the finances involved in the deal.

"If he's available on the cheap then we shouldn't hesitate in moving for him, but he's been good enough this season to potentially warrant Southampton giving him a chance next term, so I don't know how affordable it would be.

"He's been brilliant whenever he's stepped onto the pitch as he's added some much needed stability in the midfield. 

"He's a Championship N'Golo Kante with regards to his engine as he just runs all day long.

"On top of that he's a strong tackler and while his passing range is limited his short passing ability is solid."

Reed will be hopeful of continuing his strong showings for the rest of the campaign at least before worrying too much about his long-term future, particularly as the Whites are still competing to finish in the play-offs come the end of the season.

It remains to be seen if the player will indeed have a future at Southampton, with the 24-year-old having been shipped out on loan in each of the last three seasons.
