The FFC Rumour Mill: Kevin fee agreed as Pereira departs

Jack Stroudley with the final weekly round-up of the summer transfer window ahead of Monday's deadline.

Over the Chelsea game yet? No, me neither. Cool, let’s move on. It’s amazing that despite the heavy injustice Fulham received on Saturday the club need to tend to this wounds quickly with deadline day being on Monday at 7pm and Fulham still needing to sign two-to-three players, according to boss Marco Silva.

Incomings

The winger merry-go-round appears to once again be in full force with Fabrizio Romano claiming on Sunday that Fulham and Shakhtar have agreed a fee of €42m for Kevin. This follows Romano’s news onWednesday Fulham are now in advanced talks for both Kevin and Samu Chukuweze with fees of over €40m and €25m for the two wingers respectively. If you want to know more about the pair, I wrote an article on Wednesday about what they could offer Fulham.

These aren’t the only rumours surrounding those wide areas. Pete O’Rourke from Sky has suggested that Fulham are in advanced talks to sign Strasbourg winger Dilane Bakwa while Ben Jacobs reported that Fuham still hold an interest in Basel winger Philip Otele and watched him on Wednesday against FC Copenhagen.

Finally on the winger front, Fulham remain the closest to signing Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling according to the Daily Mail (one that could happen late on Deadline Day) and Eduardo Bargos has reported that Fulham hold an interest in Abdul Fatuwu from Leicester City viewing him as an alternative to Chukwueze.

In terms of other positions, Matteo Moretto has reported that Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk has turned down the opportunity to sign for Fulham with Marco Silva’s side also holding an interest in Chelsea striker Tyrique George, according to Sky Sports.

Finally, both West Ham and Fulham have sent scouts to watch Middlesborough midfielder Hayden Hackney with the East Londoners making an offer for the 23-year-old.

Outgoings

Andreas Pereira has now left Fulham to join Brazilian side Palmeiras following their long-standing interest. Pereira had a medical in Brazil on Thursday before signing for a reported €10m.

Well, here we are then. A day from deadline day and we are none-the-wiser as to who on earth Fulham are going to sign. Being linked with every winger under the sun and a few murmurings from other positions makes me think it will be a lively one. Whatever happened Fulham need at least three in: get it done.
