Report: Fulham to sign 22-year-old attacker on loan from Bundesliga giants
According to German outlet Bild, Fulham are set to land the signature of Ademola Lookman on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig. The Cottagers have signed five new players this summer in the form of Alphonse Areola, Antonee Robinson, Ola Aina, Mario Lemina and Kenny Tete. However, none of them are offensive signings and they are likely to bolster the attack before the transfer deadline next month. As per Bild, the Cottagers have reached an agreement with Leipzig over a loan deal for Lookman, who was previously in the ranks of Everton. Lookman returned to Leipzig permanently last summer after previously impressing for them on loan in 2018, where he bagged five goals and four assists from 11 league outings. The 22-year-old has since struggled to establish himself, having failed to make any co...
Report: Fulham make late move for £20m attacker linked with Crystal Palace
According to The Daily Mail, Fulham have made a late move to beat Crystal Palace in the race to sign Said Benrahma from Brentford. The Eagles are in advanced negotiations with the Bees to land the Algeria international, but they have yet to finalise a suitable transfer agreement. Amidst this, it appears that the Cottagers have joined the race to sign the 25-year-old, who bagged 17 goals and 10 assists in the Championship last term. Benrahma was initially linked with the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, but the London giants decided to look at more high-profile options to strengthen their attack. Still, there is plenty of Premier League interest and it appears that the Cottagers and Eagles are now the main contenders for his services. The Bees are said to demand around £20m to part ways w...
Report: Everton could submit offer for 23-yr-old defender soon, Fulham linked as well
Everton and Fulham are interested in signing Jerome Onguene from RB Salzburg. Both clubs need to improve their defensive options this summer and it is no surprise that they are keen on signing the 23-year-old centre back. Everton have been linked with the likes of Gabriel and Fikayo Tomori already and it will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with the Austrian club for Onguene. Clearly, Fulham need to tighten up at the back as well and they have already conceded seven goals in their two Premier League games. If they want to stay up this season, they will have to improve their defence and the signing of the Salzburg defender could prove to be a smart move for them. According to reports, both clubs could soon present an offer for the Cameroon international and it will be inte...
British lawmakers write Commonwealth over killings in Nigeria
Thirteen members of the House of Lords, United Kingdom, have expressed concern over the killings by Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East and Fulani herdsmen in the Middle Belt region. The upper house of parliament members said the failure of the Federal Government to protect Nigerians was a breach of the Commonwealth Charter. They requested the Commonwealth to raise the killings with its Ministerial Action Group. This was contained in a letter to the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Patricia Scotland, dated September 14, co-signed by Baroness Cox, Baroness Kennedy, Jim Shannon, Fiona Bruce, former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Williams and 14 others. They cited a report by the UK All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief, which accused unnamed ...
Report: Fulham submit bid to sign Frenchman from Euro giants this summer
Fulham are looking to improve their defensive options this summer and they have been linked with a move for the Barcelona defender Jean-Clair Todibo. According to Sport (h/t Sportwitness), Fulham have already submitted a bid for the 20-year-old French defender. The London club are willing to pay €18 million for the player and a further €5 million in bonuses.

Scott Parker’s side have been vulnerable at the back since the start of the season and they have conceded seven goals in two Premier League games so far. Signing a quality defender should be a top priority for the London club if they want to survive relegation this year. Todibo was on loan at Schalke last year and he managed to i...
Report: Fulham make approach to sign 25-yr-old PL player who is available on a bargain
Fulham are interested in signing the Leicester City midfielder Daniel Amartey. According to Football Insider, the London club have now made an approach to sign the 25-year-old who has fallen down the pecking order at the King Power Stadium. He will have to leave the club if he wants to play regularly. Apparently, the Foxes are willing to sell the midfielder for a fee of around £5 million this summer and it will be interesting to see if Fulham are willing to pay the asking price for the Ghana midfielder. Amartey is a versatile player who can play as a defensive midfielder or as a defender. He could prove to be a really useful addition to Scott Parker’s squad. His versatility will be an added bonus for the Londoners. The player has just two years left on his contract and it is no surprise th...
Report: Fulham to make interest in EPL defender & Leeds target formal soon
According to The Athletic’s Peter Rutzler, Fulham hold interest in Watford defender Craig Dawson and Tottenham Hotspur’s Juan Foyth, and they are expected to make the interest formal in the coming days. Manager Scott Parker wants to bolster his defence after his side shipped seven Premier League goals in their first two games of the new campaign, and landing the Spurs man and Hornets star could come very handy in order to boost their survival chances. Fulham have also linked with Sassuolo defender Marlon Santos, but they will have to part with at least £14 million to have a chance of landing the Brazilian. Foyth is expected to leave North London this summer as he is clearly not in boss Jose Mourinho’s plans this term and going forward. The Argentine has also been linked with Leeds United, ...
Predicted Leeds XI vs Fulham: Bielsa to make two changes from Anfield, 29 y/o to start
Despite their opening day defeat, Leeds United earned plenty of plaudits. Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 4-3 to Champions Liverpool, but Leeds showed they are not here just to make up the numbers. However, their season will not be affected by those high-profile games. Rather, it is the games against the likes of Fulham that will define their season. Fulham are heading into the game on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Arsenal, and Scott Parker will be demanding a response from his side. It was a crucial Championship fixture only a few weeks ago, and the battle between the two newly-promoted sides is expected to be a cracker, once again. Bielsa made 11 changes to the side in midweek’s EFL Cup defeat against Hull City. The Argentine doesn’t like to make too many changes in the league, but he coul...
Report: Fulham keen on 23-yr-old who has been linked with a move to Everton
Everton have been linked with a move for the Torino defender Gleison Bremer earlier this month and it seems that Fulham have joined the chase as well as per Tutto Mercato Web. We covered Everton’s interest in the player earlier and it will be interesting to see if Fulham can beat the Toffees to the defender’s signature in the coming weeks. It is no secret that Fulham need to improve at the back and Bremer could prove to be a decent addition for them. Scott Parker’s side were comfortably beaten in their season-opener and they must look to improve the squad before the window closes. Bremer has done well for Torino and the 23-year-old could be a useful option for the Londoners. Meanwhile, Everton need to tighten up at the back as well and they have been linked with a number of centre backs al...

Alexandre Lacazette: Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to be perfect
Arsenal got their Premier League season off to the perfect start with a 3-0 win at Fulham on Saturday – and Alexandre Lacazette says perfection is exactly what Mikel Arteta expects. Lacazette’s record-breaking early finish was added to by goals from Gabriel Magalhaes and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, with newcomers Gabriel and Willian particularly impressing. Arteta will want his players to keep their feet on the ground after beating a side freshly promoted from the Championship, but the forward took heart from their performance. “It was the best way to start the season,” Lacazette told Arsenal’s official website. “We wanted to win today and get the clean sheet. Defensively I think we did some good stuff and respected what the coach wanted. At the end, we won so everyone is happy today. “He [...
