Report: Villa could pull out of negotiation for in-demand 24 y/o Fulham target
Aston Villa are heavily interested in signing Ollie Watkins from Brentford, with the Express and Star reporting recently that the forward is Dean Smith’s first-choice target for the summer. However, with several other Premier League clubs joining the race to sign the 24-year-old forward, Brentford holds the ace at the negotiation table. According to reports from Sky Sports, Aston Villa are becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress in their negotiation with the Bees for a deal for Watkins. Villa, who narrowly escaped relegation last season, are desperate to sign a striker this summer and have earmarked Watkins as a potential option. He is a versatile forward who is also capable of playing in wide positions, and fits Villa’s profile perfectly. Last season, Watkins scored 26 ...
Report: Moyes want to sign £25m ‘long-time target’; Fulham and Wolves keen as well

The report claims that a host of clubs including Wolves, Arsenal, West Ham, Fulham, and Burnley have considered the former France Under 21 international as they strive to improve their central midfield options. Sanson is a long-term target for West Ham, and it seems the Hammers are keen to sign him this summer. However, he won’t come cheap, as the French club are demanding a fee in the region of £25m for him. The Hammers boss David Moyes has a limited transfer budget this summer, and he needs to offload some of his players to fund a move for new arrivals. They were keen to sign Eberechi Eze but he is on his way to join Crystal Palace. M...
Report: Fulham want ‘extremely highly-rated’ forward; face competition from Leeds
According to reports from The Mirror (transfer live blog, 14.49), newly-promoted Premier League side Fulham are keen to sign Arsenal starlet Emile Smith Rowe this summer. The report claims that the Cottagers want to take the 20-year-old prospect on a season-long loan. They are hoping to offer him regular Premier League games. There have been interest from Monaco to sign the forward who was part of the England under-17s World Cup-winning squad in 2017. However, the Gunners have knocked back their approach. Smith Rowe went on loan to Huddersfield last season, and chances are high that he would be sent on loan again. However, he is extremely highly-rated at Arsenal, and the Gunners would want him to play for a Premier League club. Fulham, however, are not alone in the race to sign t...

Nottingham Forest defender Matty Cash is a player in demand this summer. According to the Telegraph, Aston Villa, West Ham United and Fulham are keen on signing the 23-year-old. It will be interesting to see where the versatile defender ends up eventually. As per reports, Fulham are currently favourites to land the Nottingham Forest star but Aston Villa and West Ham have expressed an interest as well.

Cash made the transition from the midfield to a right-back last season and he was very impressive in the Championship. Both Aston Villa and West Ham could use a right back like him next season. Aston V...
Report: Fulham plotting move for in-demand £30m Spurs target, Ancelotti keen to sign
Fulham are looking to bolster their attacking department this summer, and have earmarked Callum Wilson from Bournemouth, according to reports from Sky Sports. The 28-year-old striker could be looking to leave the Cherries this summer following their relegation to the Championship. A host of Premier League clubs including Everton, West Ham and Tottenham are interested in signing Wilson. It seems Fulham have joined the race for his signature as well. He scored nine goals for Bournemouth last season and would be a very good signing for any Premier League side. The Cottagers are also keen to sign Ollie Watkins but Wilson would be a better option given he’s a proven Premier League striker. Bournemouth could lose some of their key players this summer. The Cherries have already lost Nathan A...

According to reports from Sky Sports, Fulham have joined the race to sign Ollie Watkins from Brentford in the summer transfer window. The report claims that the newly-promoted Premier League side are in talks to sign the 24-year-old versatile forward.

Fulham are looking to bring him to Craven Cottage this summer, but face competition from Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and fellow promoted side West Brom. According to Phil Hay of the Athletic, Leeds are also interested in signing Watkins who is valued by Brentford in excess of £25m. However, the Whites are closing in on a deal for Valencia winger Rodrigo, and sees Watkin...
Report: Fulham make approach to sign £22.5m-rated striker wanted by Bayer Leverkusen
Fulham have made an enquiry for AS Roma striker Patrik Schick, reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed. The Cottagers have experienced a relatively quiet summer transfer window and they have made just one new addition to the squad in the form of Antonee Robinson. With nearly six weeks remaining before the transfer deadline, they still have plenty of time to strengthen the side and their main focus could lie on recruiting a new centre-forward. Aleksandar Mitrovic netted 26 goals in the club’s promotion campaign from the Championship last term, but no other player was able to reach double figures in terms of scoring. Hence, manager Steve Parker will definitely want to bolster the strikeforce ahead of the new Premier League season and Romano has revealed that the club have made an enq...
Report: Fulham looking to beat Spurs & EPL trio to signature of England international
According to The Telegraph, Fulham have joined Tottenham Hotspur and co. in the pursuit of Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson. The 28-year-old is keen to remain in the English top-flight following the Cherries relegation, and Aston Villa, West Ham United and Newcastle United are also keeping tabs on him. Fulham relied heavily on Aleksandar Mitrovic last term, with the Serbian starting 40 Championship games. Manager Scott Parker wants to boost his striking ranks and he wants to add Wilson to his squad as they prepare for life back in the Premier League. The England international brings top-flight experience to the table and guarantees goals when presented with opportunities. Spurs want him as a back-up to Harry Kane, but Wilson wants to play regularly and could fancy his chances of getting f...
Report: Wolves and Fulham keen to sign £25m midfielder…but rival club favourites to land him
According to reports from Evening Standard, Premier League duo – Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham – have joined the race to sign Abdoulaye Doucoure. However, Everton are still favourites to sign the 27-year-old. Earlier this week, GFFN reported that the Toffees have submitted a bid for the French midfielder but the Hornets have turned it down. Everton are preparing an improved offer for the box to box midfielder as Doucoure seems to be a priority target for Ancelotti. Watford, who will play in the Championship next season, are keen to offload him. But they want an initial £25million upfront to sanction a sale. The Toffees are clearly the frontrunners due to their long-standing interest in the Frenchman, but they could face strong competition from the likes of Wol...

Leeds United have received a boost in signing Joe Bryan due to the imminent arrival of Antonee Robinson at Fulham, Football Insider claims.

It is now reported that the 26-year-old could be available for a transfer with the Cottagers on the cusp of signing a new left-back in the form of Robinson from Wigan Athletic. Bryan was instrumental in the Cottagers’ top-flight promotion and he came with a heroic performance in the play-off final against Brentford where he scored both goals in a 2-1 win. He has since revealed his commitment towards the club in a podcast interview with The Athletic, and it would come as a surprise, if he heads for the exit door i...

Report: Leeds have submitted an offer to 26-yr-old Bundesliga midfielder’s agent
Leeds United are keen on signing the Mainz attacking midfielder Jean-Paul Boetius. As per Bild, the Whites have already submitted an offer to the player’s agent. Fulham, Fiorentina and Sevilla have also made their move. It will be interesting to see if the English side can bring the 26-year-old to Elland Road this summer. Bielsa needs to add more depth and quality to his attacking department and Boetius would be a good signing. He has proven his quality with Mainz and he might be tempted to move on to a bigger league in England. The 26-year-old Dutchman can play on both flanks and he can operate as the number ten as well. His ability to switch between multiple roles will be an added bonus for Leeds United if they manage to sign him. Boetius managed to score four times and he assisted five ...
