New Fulham head coach Slavisa Jokanovic says he is determined to keep key strikers Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembele beyond the winter transfer window.

Sky sources reported last week that several Premier League clubs, including Everton and Tottenham, were tracking youngster Dembele.

And a number of English newspapers have reported that McCormack is attracting interest from Championship leaders Middlesbrough.

But Jokanovic said: "I am not thinking about selling my key players like McCormack or Moussa Dembele. I don't plan for it and that's it.

"This team need some fresh blood and we are thinking about some players who can help us in the future."
