Fulham have had an offer for Lyon forward Bertrand Traore rejected, according to reports in France.
Scott Parker’s side had submitted what they considered ‘a fair offer’ for the former Chelsea winger, but Lyon – who are eager to sell the 24 year-old this summer – turned it down and are believed to be holding out for a fee that meets their £22m valuation. Fulham are just one of a number of English clubs reportedly keen on offering Traore the chance to return to the Premier League, with Brighton, Newcastle, Everton and Crystal Palace apparently closing monitoring developments.
The Burkina Faso international, who came through the Auxerre academy before moving to Chelsea, has scored 33 goals in 125 appearances for Lyon and was part of the side that helped the French club go all the way to the Champions’ League final earlier this month, although he was a substitute for the latter stages of the competition. It remains to be seen whether Fulham will return with an improved offer for the winger in the days ahead.
Hopefully not at that prise
Not worth signing this player waste of money
Deja vu or what?
Please No. Found the following comments from Lyon fans: Worst player in Lyon history. Terrible finishing and poor right foot. Only move is to cut to his left. Makes one successful dribble out of 20. Disappears in games after 20 minutes. Every Lyon fan wants him out… please pass plus his wages are over 60k a week. It’s embarrassing Lyon are asking for 25 million for him
He’ would be a Fantastic signing, a perfect combo with Mitro. For all those unsold and unconvinced, go watch the videos.
This is a complete waste of money. Fulham should be concentrating on signing a Right Back and a Central defender. we have adequate cover in midfield and wide players.
. Going down the same route no lessons learned from last time get those clowns back from loans and let them fight for a place seri can make the tea aguisa can change the light bulbs but at least we can keep 30 million in reserve for next window in case of injuries.
Can Seri make tea because he couldn’t make a pass and as for Agusisa changing light bulbs would that include the floodlights.
Unfortunately while they may be good players abroad not enough for the physicality of the Premiership.
Should be looking at tried and test players.
Hey ho keep the faith COYW
