Fulham attacker reportedly heading out the exit door for new challenge elsewhere

Fulham winger Ivan Cavaleiro is reportedly joining Alanyaspor.

The Portugal international has slipped down the pecking order at Craven Cottage following their promotion to the Premier League.

Cavaleiro, 28, now appears to be heading out the exit door to get some game time under his belt in the Turkish Super Lig.

As reported by Fanatik, Alanyaspor have ‘agreed’ a deal on a season-long loan deal.

Out of favour at Fulham

Fulham swooped to sign the attacker back in 2019 on an initial loan from Wolves before his move to London was made permanent after 12 months.

He has made 104 appearances in all competitions and has chipped in with 11 goals and eight assists.

Cavaleiro has helped the Cottagers get out of the Championship twice since joining them but has fallen out of favour now.

Prior to his move to England in 2016 when he rocked up at Molinuex, he played for Benfica and AS Monaco.

A move to Turkey now gives him a chance to show what he can do in another league. He still has another year left on his contract at Fulham with his current deal up in June 2024.

In other news, Bernd Leno has opened up about his Arsenal exit, as per ESPN:

When I realised that it wasn’t about performance or quality, I knew I had to go. During the preparation I saw that it’s not about performance, it’s just about politics. It was clear to me: I have to get out of here.”
