Fulham have began contract renewal discussions with Harrison Reed after rejecting a derisory offer for the midfielder from Wolverhampton Wanderers towards the end of the transfer window, according to the Evening Standard.
The former Southampton midfielder has become a regular in Marco Silva’s side and thrived in a new role as a box-to-box operator since the Portuguese head coach replaced Scott Parker at Craven Cottage. The 28 year-old is into the final twelve months of his current Fulham deal and is happy to renew his contract with the Whites if Fulham’s offer recognises his improvement since his arrival in SW6, initially on loan in 2019.
The energetic engine room operator has made 150 appearances for Fulham, who immediately rejected Wolves’ £4m offer last Thursday. Reed, who has inherited the ‘Ginger Iniesta’ moniker from Steve Sidwell, also attracted interest from Everton at the end of the transfer window but the Cottagers are keen to keep him stay at the club. The club’s hierarchy are relaxed about his future – as they can trigger a twelve-month extension option next summer – and believe preliminary discussions have been positive.
Love this man! Such an example of commitment and effectiveness.
Long may he stay to thrive as a player and be an inspirational model for others.
It’s a nobrainer he deserves a new and better contract, we gave Kongolo a new contract and he was injured at the time I think he played one game for us in all the time he was here, which bloody ridiculous.
John B says it all!
Quite right. Reedy has been a hero.
Harrison has been one our most consistence performers and deserves an improved contract hope it settled soon and its a long one.
Agree with all the above. He has been a consistent member of the team and I for one would hate to lose his commitment and tireless work ethic. A great squad member.
Great comments from all the above Reedy is one of my favorites,possibly one of the first names on the team sheet and a future captain never seen him kiss the badge like Mitro and Palinha then they leave true professional
I am now 76yrs old will please tell me am not losing my sight or not hearing
properly as i saw and heard Wolves offered 3 millions or is someone at Wolves not right in their head.
Can’t really comprehend it can you, talk about a wasted effort? As we know and appreciate, Reed is a fine example of a good old fashion Club professional. The backbone of clubs such as FFC.
