Newly promoted Coventry City are set to battle Fulham for the signature of Union Berlin striker Andrej Ilic.
According to a report from Football Insider, Fulham and newly promoted Coventry City are keen on bolstering their attack ahead of next season, and they are set to battle it out for the services of Union Berlin forward Andrej Ilic.

The Serbian international has been one of their standout performers this term. He has been involved in a total of 34 matches and has contributed towards 18 goals (6 goals, 12 assists).

The 26-year-old has been the go-to man for Union Berlin in the final third, but they are ready to cash in on him. With just a year left on his deal, they are already bracing themselves for offers.
