Fulham are in talks with Porto winger Pepe about a possible move to Craven Cottage this summer, according to reports from EPSN Brazil.

Marco Silva has made the signing of a winger a priority in the close season after the Whites were hamstrung by injuries to Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson during the course of the last season. The Whites are relaxed about Pepe interesting a number of other Premier League sides, including Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Burnley as they believe Silva could prove the key in persuading the 28 year-old to make Craven Cottage his destination.

The Brazilian international – who scored in Porto’s 4-4 draw with Al Ahly as the Dragons went out of the Club World Cup at the group stage – has been linked with a £20m exit this summer after scoring 24 goals in 194 appearances. Pepe, who has won one Portuguese title and four Portuguese Cups in his time at Estadio de Dragao, scored 32 goals in 144 games for Gremio before moving to Europe for the first time in 2021.

Pepe made his Brazil debut in November 2023 when he replaced Renan Lodi with eight minutes to go in a 2-1 World Cup qualifying defeat to Colombia.
