The player is not wanted at Newcastle in the short term and a move to Belgium with Anderlecht looked likely, but that fell through meaning he is now in London to hold talks with Fulham.
The Serbian has barely featured at all this season and is keen to get his career back on track particularly with a summer World Cup on the horizon, where he will hope to feature for Serbia.
He wasn’t in his side’s FA Cup defeat to Chelsea at the weekend which sparked talk that he was likely to leave the club on a loan deal this month.
If he does move to Craven Cottage, he’ll have a chance to help play a part in getting Fulham promoted to the Premier League.
