Fulham are weighing up whether to reunite Dominic Calvert-Lewin with Marco Silva after the England international’s departure from Everton earlier this week.
The Whites are in the market for striking reinforcements this summer – and have already been linked with likes of Ricardo Pepi and Tolu Arokododore. Silva’s preference would be for a seasoned Premier League striker to compete with Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz, who shared the lone striker duties at Craven Cottage for much of last season, but Fulham know they would have to pay a sizeable transfer fee to secure a centre forward with top flight pedigree.
Calvert-Lewin, who scored 71 goals in 273 games for the Toffees in a nine-year stint at Goodison Park, won’t be short of suitors. He has been heavily linked with Newcastle United, Celtic and a host of Serie A sides. Silva is a long-term admirer of Calvert-Lewin’s talent, but there are obvious concerns about his injury record and sharpness in front of goal. The former Sheffield United forward scored just three times in 26 games for Everton last term – missing through months of the campaign after injuring his knee.
Silva has cooled on the possibility of resigning Richarlison, whom he brought from Brazilian football to Watford, despite Thomas Frank’s decision to let the former Everton forward leave Spurs. The 28 year-old is interesting Turkish giants Galatasaray, who have struggled to raise the cash to bring in Victor Osimhen. Another long-term Fulham target, the Newcastle United centre forward Callum Wilson is believed to be high on Everton’s shortlist.
we do not want someone with his injury history. Probably past his best. We need someone younger with something to prove
Why does Silva always want to sign old players is he scared to take a chance on young players.
We are also being linked to 31 year old Calhanoglu ffs
it should be a decision between Calvert Lewin and Jimenez and with that in mind, i would nearly have gone for DCL purely for long term.
All this noise makes me worry about Muniz leaving
We have a good older striker in Jimenez we don’t have to risk on a injury prone striker we have Muniz promising player get another younger player
He’s dog shit.
Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!
No thanks
Pass on this one. Injury prone and another older player
Pass. Always injured and not even that good when he’s fit.
Better to have retained Callum Osmand. Can’t work out how they are letting these amazing young ones slip away
