Fulham manager Martin Jol has claimed that he needs up to six new players for the start of next season.

The Cottagers are yet to secure their Premier League status this year as Sunday's 3-1 defeat at home to Liverpool has left them five points off the drop zone having played a game more than 18th-placed Wigan Athletic.

"We need four, five or six players but that's normal at any club," Jol is quoted as saying by the Ealing Gazette. "We need to strengthen."

Fulham play their final game of the campaign next Sunday when they travel to Swansea City.
