Fulham are braced for a battle to keep Scott Parker for their Championship return as the club prepare for a summer shake-up. The Cottagers' relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on Monday night following a 2-0 home loss to Burnley with Parker now set for pivotal talks with club officials. Despite their difficult season, Parker's stock has risen, particularly for his work in implementing a clear philosophy at Craven Cottage. Fulham are also set to lose a host of players, having signed seven loanees during the campaign, and start next season with what Parker described as a 'new squad.' Aleksandar Mitrovic is admired by West Ham manager David Moyes while one of last summer's permanent signings, Tosin Adarabioyo, could remain in the Premier League after catching the eye in his debut full top-flight season.
