Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin is on his way to London for a medical after Fulham agreed a £34.6m fee to sign the Brazilian winger.
The deal bring the talented 22 year-old to Craven Cottage will comfortably surpass Fulham’s record transfer fee – which is currently the initial £27m they paid Arsenal to sign Emile Smith Rowe last summer. Kevin, who usually plays on the left wing but can play up front or from the right flank, has scored seventeen goals in 57 matches for Shakhtar, also contributing ten assists.
He was outstanding as Shakhtar came from behind to beat Servette in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday night, scoring a penalty that helped the Miners secure a place in the group phase of the competition. The protracted deal to bring in the pacey winger would be Fulham’s second of the summer and their slow recruitment has angered head coach Marco Silva.
I understand they have agreed a fee but not personal terms yet. Fingers Crossed
If this is true why didn’t we sign him at the beginning of the window and then he could have played at the start of the season,the fee hasn’t been reduced so why do we always wait till the very last minute to sign players no wonder Marco is pissed off.
Lets for once try and be a bit positive. If it goes through it is better late than never and he is young rather than the usual 28 plus age
Just watched him on You Tube. A tricky and lively winger who can score goals. Noticed his surname is Macedo who was a Fulham great in his day.
At last just heard on Sky he’s on his way for a medical at Motspur Park he will be Our Biggest transfer deal ever,both footed and can play striker apparently Shahid Khan got involved and the deal was done now Chukwuewe this one’s close as well fingers crossed let’s hope this is true I don’t think Sky would lie
Still, even if both sign, how do you beat 13 men with 11 when Ref and VAR are obviously playing for the opposing team??
If we get Kevin he should be a great signing, very fast and tricky,much better than the money we wasted on Smith rowe
Thanks Michael Murphy, its only 3 games played and we have lost 6 pts because of VAR and Referee and that leaves us in the bottom three it hurts as the team is playing well COYW.
Looks like ‘Kev’ is no longer ‘in’, but out! Personal terms the stumbling block and we are back in for Sterling!
I understand he cannot agree terms for contract so the transfer may collapse
This probably won’t happen knowing our luck every other team in the world have signed players now Sporting have come in at the very last minute what a surprise as usual total total shambles we get shafted by Refs and VAR now our nose is at the winning post and the jockey fell off
Please someone write a SitCom called Players we’ve missed or could have had and we know who the principle characters would be if they were still around the MarxBros could play the parts Harpo,Groucho,and Chico it might win a BAFTA
I….like all of you don’t know what the …. is going on.
We may sign 3 wingers Kevin (Sporting ?),Chukwueze and George and sell 2 Godo and Wilson.
Squad building….!!! We will be lucky if we can fill all the subs spaces!!
