Arteta said that Mitrović, who has scored three Premier League goals so far this season, is efficient in front of the goal areas.

Speaking on Mitrović, Arteta said during Friday’s pre-match press conference, “When he’s around the box, as you can see last season, he scored 43 goals in the league and he already has three this season, that tells you the efficiency that he has in these areas.
“He’s one of the main threats of Fulham.”
