4 players who could sign for Fulham in January and 6 that probably will not.
Fulham have adapted well to life back in the Premier League this season. The Cottagers stormed to the Championship title last term under Marco Silva and many expected them to be in for a tough campaign back in the top flight.
However, they are currently sat in a respectable 9th position during the World Cup break and have picked up a decent 19 points from their opening 15 games. The London club were busy in the last summer transfer window as they bolstered their squad.
They brought in 11 new faces, with their most eye-catching additions being popular midfielder Joao Palhinha from Sporting Lisbon and playmaker Andreas Pereira from Manchester United. Fulham have the chance to add more players to their ranks this winter.
Here is a look at some players who could make the move to Craven Cottage in January, and some who probably won’t based on recent rumours...
1. COULD SIGN: Franck Kessie
Fulham are reportedly interested in the midfielder. He has struggled to make an impact since joining Barcelona from AC Milan.
2. COULD SIGN: Cedric Soares
The Cottagers are said to be in talks with the former Southampton right-back. His game time at Arsenal has dried up.
3. COULD SIGN: Pablo Maia
His name has been mentioned as a potential target after catching the eye over in Brazil for Sao Paulo. He would be an exciting addition in the middle of the park.
4. COULD SIGN: Ben Brereton Diaz
