Fulham's game against FC Twente on Thursday night is attracting plenty of attention from fellow Premier League sides Liverpool and Newcastle who are keen to watch Luuk de Jong in action.
The Twente striker is a long term target for Newcastle and in recent weeks has also been linked with Liverpool after starting the season in superb form in Holland.
De Jong has scored eight league goals in nine appearances as Twente have lost just one of their opening 14 matches and currently find themselves seven points behind leaders AZ Alkmaar.
The 21-year-old has become a regular starter for Holland under Bert van Marwijk and has now made six appearances for the side, scoring his first ever international goal against Finland in September.
Newcastle have long been linked with a striker after losing Andy Carroll last January and De Jong appears to be the man that is topping manager Alan Pardew's wish list.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has also shown an interest in the prolific young striker as Kenny Dalglish attempts to continue the clubs policy of signing the best young talent around.
Both Premier League sides will watch the striker in action against Fulham on Thursday night with a view of making an offer for the striker in the January transfer window.
