Fulham ‘presented’ with potential summer target with defender eyed

Fulham adapted well to life in the Premier League last season following their promotion from the Championship in 2022. The Whites finished 10th in the table.

They have the chance to add some signings into their squad now the transfer window is open. With that in mind, here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours coming out of the club...

Left-back eyed

Newcastle United still ‘hold an interest’ in Fulham defender Antonee Robinson, according to a report by ChronicleLive. The left-back made the switch to Craven Cottage from Wigan Athletic back in 2020. He has since made 108 appearances in all competitions and has chipped in with three goals.

Midfielder offered

The Cottagers have been ‘presented’ with the chance to sign Wolfsburg midfielder Aster Vranckx, according to reporter Sacha Tavolieri. The 20-year-old, who is a Belgium international with a single cap under his belt, is at a crossroads at the moment following an unsuccessful loan spell away in Italy with AC Milan in the last campaign. He moved to the Volkswagen Arena in 2021 from Mechelen and has since featured 29 times for the Bundesliga outfit.

Former player becomes free agent

Former Fulham midfielder Stefan Johansen has left second tier outfit QPR by mutual consent. He will now have to weigh up his options as a free agent.

He spent five years with the Whites from 2016 to 2021 and helped them win promotion to the top flight twice. He has told the Hoops’ website: “There is no bad blood at all, I have had conversations with the club and I think it’s time to move on.

“It suits all parties that I am leaving now. I have had a great time but do wish that I could have achieved what I came here to do, which was promotion to the Premier League. From the moment Gareth (Ainsworth) walked through the door we got on really well. We respect each other and have a strong relationship. He is a great guy and I leave the club with him as a good friend.”
