Fulham boss Marco Silva says Jay Stansfield will stay next season.

The striker spent this season with Birmingham City on-loan.

"He's going to be back with us," Silva said of Stansfield. “Everything we planned, apart from the collective goal of Birmingham which was not what we wanted, was a box [ticked].

“He played the season before in League One [with Exeter City], and to be able to give a step forward in the Championship and be an important piece in the attack-line and score important goals [was pleasing]. Jay achieved all the important things.

“Now is the moment for him to come back and be one of the players in our attacking line for next season."
