German giants Bayern Munich are tracking Fulham full back Kenny Tete as a possible replacement for Benjamin Pavard, according to the Sun this afternoon.
Pavard is poised to move to Inter Milan and Bayern are interested in reuniting the Dutch international, who was outstanding as Marco Silva’s side finished tenth on their return to the top flight, with his former Ajax team-mate Mathijs de Ligt. The Bundesliga champions dispatched scouts to Craven Cottage last season to watch a number of Fulham players – although reports from Germany earlier this week disclosed how they had abandoned plans to enquire as to the availability of German international Bernd Leno because he would prove unaffordable.
Fulham have began discussions with Tete about extending his contract in SW6, which expires next June, and the attacking right back is settled in London and enjoying what he describes as ‘the most consistent spell of my career’ under Silva. The Cottagers are attempting to strengthen their squad in the final days of the summer transfer window – and interest in Tete is unwelcome after the departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic for Al Hilal last week.
The 27 year-old has made 80 appearances – scoring three times – since joining Fulham from Lyon for a bargain £3m in September 2020. He helped the Whites win the Championship after staying at Craven Cottage following their relegation in his first season with the club and has become one of the most consistent right backs in the country forcing his way back into the international picture.
Ffs is there any good news tell them to piss off we are in a right mess and we don’t need to make things worse.
Hammy what about some news on incomings, any realistic signs of someone half decent being signed Hudson-Odio is a steal at 8m. My Arsenal season ticket holding mates recon Balagun is better both Martinelli and Neiketia 50m well worth a punt. Instead we look like getting a Everton reject out of all the links to players the Gift guy looks by far the best value. Khan needs to splash the cash.
Can’t sell our players squad to small already . Ok Tosin could go in last year of contract. Fulham have year option on Tete after June next year
Palhninha, Tete and Leno should be considered untouchables. Without them we will be back to yo-yo times. We need another 3 quality signings, or at least young players that show great potential.
Comment The only concern that I have is how does Marco feel?If he is happy then so will be. Dan any chance that you may get an interview with him. He surely will not betray any confidences but you may get a feel of how he is thinking.
