Fulham already had the maximum of two Premier League loan players in Duffy and Leeds winger Dan James, but the Irish defender's permanent move freed up a spot.

Lukic told the club's website, external: "I'm very happy to have signed and to now be a part of Fulham's squad.

"I've seen Fulham play this season and they've been playing very well. They have a good squad, with a great history.

"A lot of great players have played for the club in its history, and they have a lot of great players currently, like my compatriot Aleksandar Mitrovic."
