Fulham are considering a move for FC Basel winger Philip Otele as they struggle to reach agreement with Shakhtar Donetsk over the possible signing of Brazilian winger Kevin, according to various reports this afternoon.
The Whites are keen to supplement Marco Silva’s squad with more wide options before the end of the summer transfer deadline. Give Me Sport reports that the Cottagers sent scouts to watch the 26 year-old, rumoured to be available for around £12.2m, during Basel’s 1-1 draw against FC Copenhagen in the Champions’ League on Tuesday night.
The Nigerian winger, who began his career with Teesside University, only moved permanently to Basel this summer having enjoyed a successful loan spell with the Swiss Super League side. He can play on either flank or as a centre forward and helped Basel win the Swiss league and cup double last season, scoring nine goals in 29 games. The Whites could face competition from Eintracht Frankfurt for Otele’s signature, with the Bundesliga outfit weighing up whether to make an offer.
That’s it !!. Just going around yo see to get players at a good cheap rate !! Nothing is going to happen till deadline date !!
Just another name apparently added to the list, Its make you mind up time a sign a winger then concentrate on defensive mid field player which I consider should the main target position
Is this for real ! ? Hope its just Agent pushing the name out or smoke screening by Fulham ..
Fulham are giving me the F—–g hump now this must be the worst window they have had they must mull over loads of players but never seem to get a deal done. Bloody sign Kevin he looks good
if we cant sign Kevin then for me Sess is as good as any of the left wingers we are meant to be considering. Then splash the cash on a defensive midfield player as Richard S mentioned. However at the rate we are going i am beginning to have doubts if we will sign anybody except perhaps on loan
Like I’ve said in the past when you leave it late all you get is what other teams don’t want just wish T.K. would get it in his head this is not American football it’s English come on Tony pull your finger out
Comment *People are complaining as if this is FFC’s fault! They’re probably working on deal’s. All the noise is just churnalism thrown out without any concern if there is any basis in fact!! When you have a web site you need clicks!
It’s not churnalism, it’s reporting.
You really could not make this stuff up. Bargain Basement Bill strikes again, or not. Why frig around like this, give Shakhtar the few extra quid they want . If Kevin fits the bill get him. Wasting all this effort with bid and counter bid risks us missing out completely on strengthening the squad or ending up signing any ‘ port in a storm’.
