Update on Fulham’s pursuit of attacker emerges with the Cottagers eyeing more signings

Fulham are reportedly expected to seal a deal to sign Manor Solomon soon.

The winger is poised to leave Shakhtar Donetsk to join the London club.

As per a report by West London Sport, the player is with the Cottagers’ squad at their pre-season training camp in Portugal.

His move will be ‘rubber-stamped’ soon as Marco Silva bids to add another attacker to his ranks.
