Fulham attacker Jay Stansfield reportedly attracted interest from the Championship in the last transfer window.

However, the Cottagers decided to stick with their original plan and loan him out to Exeter City in the end.

The League One side had to wait for the deal to go through on deadline day as Marco Silva’s side waited to bring in attacking reinforcements.

As detailed in a report by Devon Live, the player ‘sparked interest’ from teams in the second tier before his switch to St James Park.

Exeter move

Stansfield made his debut for Exeter over the weekend and fittingly wore the number nine shirt, becoming the first person to do so since the death of his father, Adam.

His switch to the Grecians is a great opportunity for him to get some first-team experience under his belt in the Football League this term.

The 19-year-old has made four appearances for Fulham so far this season, three of which have come in the Premier League.

However, following their recent signings of Dan James, Willian and Carlos Vinicius, his game time would have probably dried up.

Stansfield will be pushing for a start this weekend as his new side prepare to face Charlton Athletic away.

In other news, a report by Media Foot in France suggest that their pursuit of PSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa wasn’t straight forward.

They claim they initially rejected the chance to sign him in August before moving back in for him later on in the window.
