    Fulham boss Martin Jol eyes six summer signings

    Martin Jol is targeting as many as six summer signings for Fulham in the summer as the London club have had a disappointing end to the season. 

    Despite failing to record a single win in seven Premier League matches, Fulham look to have guaranteed survival having reached the magical 40-point mark. 

    Only a minor miracle would see Jol's men plunge into the Championship now but it has been too close for comfort for the Dutch manager. 

    Jol will be keen to avoid a repeat of the struggle his side has faced in the second half of this season and seems to already have one eye on the transfer market. 

    Having seen his side slump to their fifth straight defeat to Liverpool yesterday afternoon, as they stutter towards the finish line, the Fulham boss has conceded that there is work to be done.

    Losing Mousa Dembele and in particular Clint Dempsey to Tottenham on transfer deadline day last August has proven costly and Jol wants to bring in replacements during the close-season.

    Fulham travel to Swansea next Sunday for their final game of the season knowing that a win would definitely be enough to remain in the top flight.

    They may already be mathematically safe before then if Wigan fail to beat Arsenal on Tuesday night.
