Fulham forward attracting transfer interest ahead of the summer as Marco Silva faces decision

Fulham striker Carlos Vinicius is reportedly a wanted man ahead of the next transfer window. The 28-year-old, who made the move to Craven Cottage only last year, has struggled to make a real impact for Marco Silva’s side.

According to Brazilian outlet Torcedores, Flamengo could try and lure him away from England. The Cottagers have a big decision to make this summer about his long-term future.

Fulham landed the former Tottenham Hotspur man in September to add more competition and depth to their attacking options following their promotion from the Championship. However, he has played second fiddle in this campaign behind top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Vinicius penned a three-year deal with the London club with the option of a further 12 months on top of that. However, he has found the net twice in his 25 appearances so far this term.

Prior to his move to the Whites, he spent three years on the books at Benfica and had fired 24 goals in 50 games. He had also had loan spells away from Portugal at Spurs and PSV.

Flamengo may now try and persuade Fulham to cash in on the forward and his situation is now up in the air. Silva’s men are back in action at home to relegation threatened Leeds United.
