Fulham will be hoping they can finish this year's campaign strongly when they return to competitive action later this year. 

The Cottagers are currently sat third in the Championship table, and will be keen to hold their nerve in the race to win promotion into the top-flight this term.

But their bid for promotion into the Premier League has been put on hold due to recent off-the-field events, which have called sporting events across the UK to an abrupt halt for the time being.

One player that has played his part in their push for promotion this season is Ivan Cavaleiro, who made his loan spell a permanent one at Craven Cottage during the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old has six goals and seven assists to his name in all competitions this season, and he'll be keen to add to that tally as the season heads towards a conclusion.

Speaking in an interview with Record, Cavaleiro admitted that he it was a tough decision to leave Wolves, but feels as though he made the right call in his pursuit to find regular game time. He also stated that he prefers to live in London compared to his time in Wolves, revealing that he has more of his childhood friends closer to him now near Craven Cottage.

"It wasn’t easy. I really liked being there, but I preferred to leave because I didn’t have many chances to play in Premier League. I found it strange, but I quickly got used to it. I integrated easily because the dressing room is good."

“I prefer to be in London, because here I have more Portuguese childhood friends. I think I have more family here than in Portugal."

The Verdict: 

He'll be keen to build on some impressive performances for Fulham this season.

There is a serious amount of competition in Scott Parker's squad this term, and Cavaleiro will know that he has to be at the top of his game to be a regular in the starting XI for the remainder of this year's campaign.

I think Fulham have got too much to do to make up the gap that the top-two have created in recent months, so they'll have to switch their focus to the play-offs.

It's going to be a closely-fought battle to win promotion via the play-offs as well, as there are a number of strong teams still battling it out with nine games remaining in the Championship season.
