Matteo Moretto reports that Fulham’s deal to bring AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze to Craven Cottage has hit a snag.

The Milan-based journalist says that the parties had agreed a loan deal, including an option to buy – that could become an obligation should the Nigerian international play a set number of games – for £21m, but that there is now a disagreement over the payment structures, including loan fees, that AC Milan will receive.

The move is further complicated by the fact that the Rossoneri require the former Villarreal wide man to be in their matchday squad against Leece tonight as they have no available forwards other than Rafa Leao, who is an injury doubt. It remains to be seen whether the problems Moretto has detailed can be ironed out – or if Fulham, desperate to satisfy Marco Silva’s demands for signings to supplement his squad, move on to other targets.
