Marco Silva has been speaking to the media before Fulham's Premier League game against Luton Town on Saturday.

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Deadline day signing Alex Iwobi "will be involved in the squad", while Sasa Lukic is unavailable and Tom Cairney "is still in doubt".

• On whether he is happy with his squad, Silva said: "100%. We are going to be competitive and make our fans proud. I'm happy with the squad."

• On Joao Palhinha and Harrison Reed's new contracts: "Great news for us as a football club. We felt it was a good moment to take important decisions and give the fans good feelings as well."

• On reports Palhinha could still leave the club, Silva added: "I don't want to talk about the market again."

• On preparing to take charge of his 100th Fulham game: "It's a nice number and time flies, it's unbelievable. Football is so intense, sometimes you don't feel the time going."

• Reflecting on the season so far, he said: "We have been really competitive in all games. Things out of our control have made it more difficult. But I prefer to look forward and we are going to improve."
