Fulham ‘hoping’ to complete 10 transfer deals with international player in talks

Fulham are reportedly expected to have a very busy few weeks ahead as they prepare for the new season.

The Cottagers are back in the Premier League and are in the hunt for some additions.

Marco Silva’s side are in talks with Wolfsburg right-back Kevin Mbabu and are hoping for as many as 10 new additions in this transfer window, as reported by The Athletic.

The London club have been quiet since the end of the past campaign after they won the Championship title and have only managed to sign João Palhinha from Sporting Lisbon.

Fulham target Mbabu

Mbabu, 27, is no stranger to playing in England after spending four years on the books at Newcastle United from 2014 to 2017.

He joined the Magpies from Swiss side Servette and went on to play five times for the club in all competitions.

The Toon Army loaned him out to Rangers and Young Boys before he joined the latter on a permanent basis.

Wolfsburg then snapped him up in 2019 and he has been a key player for the Bundesliga side since then, making 83 appearances in all competitions. However, he may well be moving on now.

The Athletic report that Marco Silva’s side are close to landing attacking midfielder Andreas Pereira from Manchester United, winger Manor Solomon from Shakhtar Donetsk and are also in talks with Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno and West Ham United defender Issa Diop.

Football Insider reported over the weekend that Fulham want Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon, whilst Burnley attacker Maxwel Cornet has also been linked by the Daily Mirror.
