Fulham veteran Willian: Differences between Mitrovic and Diego Costa

Fulham veteran Willian says he's enjoying playing alongside Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Willian says their understanding is improving every game.

Comparing Mitrovic with his former Chelsea teammate Diego Costa, now of Wolves, he told The Times: "Mitrovic is the type of centre-forward who protects the ball, a deep pivot.

"Diego Costa is also strong in that role, but he was also able to do the job of breaking free from the defender's back.

"We've only had six games together (with Mitrovic), I think we're improving our chemistry, but I already feel very comfortable playing with him."
