Fulham join Chelsea, Liverpool and Brighton in 21-goal ace pursuit
Fulham are gearing up for the start of the new Premier League season.
Marco Silva remains in charge at Craven Cottage and has the chance to bring in some new players over the coming weeks. Here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours coming out of the club…
Winger on radar
Fulham are interested in a move for Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville. According to Sky Sports, they are keen on the Championship star along with West Ham.
Summerville, 22, is a key player for the Whites but they face a battle to keep hold of him after they lost the play-off final to Southampton at Wembley.
He has been playing his football at Elland Road since 2020 and scored 21 goals in all competitions last term.
Chelsea, Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool are also said to be admirers of the player, as per a report by GiveMeSport.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has said: “There is interest in him. We know Brighton have taken a look. We know that he could still be on Chelsea’s radar. Newcastle are also interested in the player.
“So it will still be a big surprise if between now and the end of the window, given how many clubs want players in his position, it will be a surprise if somebody doesn’t make a formal offer for Summerville.”
Sky Sports’ report claims Fulham are also still keen on Fluminense midfielder Andre, Manchester United’s Scott McTominay and Arsenal’s Emile Smith-Rowe, although it remains to be seen whether they can land the trio in this window.
Youngster wanted
According to Turkish news outlet Aksam, Fulham are preparing an ‘official offer’ for Besiktas attacker Mustafa Hekimoğlu.
The 17-year-old has risen up through the academy of the Turkish Super Lig giants and is under contract until 2027.
He could be seen by Silva as one for the future and someone who would be capable of breaking into their senior team down the line.
Hekimoğlu has made seven appearances for Besiktas to date, six of which have come in the league.
