Fulham have a decision to make on what to do with Sekularac between now and the deadline.
A temporary departure would help him get some experience under his belt.

After joining his current club, he told their website at the time: “I’m feeling great and I’m super excited to join this club. I’ve admired Fulham for a very long time and I can’t wait to crack on and start playing games.
“I’ve met most of the lads and they seem like a really great group. They’ve been really welcoming. I’ve also met pretty much all the staff so I can’t complain.
“The fans can expect a creative player who likes to put on a show. I can play anywhere in midfield and I’m a technical player.”
