Slavisa Jokanovic believes closing the summer transfer window before the season starts is a good idea.

The Premier League agreed to changing the current rules to shut the summer transfer window before the new season kicks off, rather than at the end of August.

And the EFL recently followed suit, agreeing to the move too, with a formal vote due at the start of 2018.

And Fulham boss Jokanovic is all for the change.

He said: "I believe it's a good idea. If the Premier League made this step it's logical that the Championship teams do the same thing. At the end I expect we're going to have the same rules as the Premier League teams."

The EFL proposals would allow clubs to bring loan players in after the start of August though.

Jokanovic added: "I believe this loan rule can bring us more players in for pre-season, I believe we can start working with 90 per cent of the team that we are going to start the Championship with and this is great news.

"If you start pre-season with one team and in second half of pre-season you are with a second and then at the start of the season you have a third and then you finish the month with a fourth this doesn't make any sense. At the end I think this is a very good idea and I support this 100 per cent."
