Fulham forward Jay Stansfield is limbering up for the new season with a personal fitness camp in Dubai, according to the Lancashire Evening Post.
The England under-21 international is set to be a key part of Marco Silva’s first-team squad during the forthcoming campaign after two successful loan spells at Exeter City and Birmingham City. The young striker scored thirteen goals in 47 games despite Blues’ relegation from the Championship last term and Silva, under whom Stansfield scored his first Fulham goal, has confirmed that he will part of his plans for the 2024/25 season.
I think it’s time for players who move through the age groups ultimately start to be part of the first team squad otherwise the underlying investment is wasted. There are real opportunities this year and next and I hope Stansfield is the first of many
