Fulham have tabled a second offer for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Whites have already had one bid rejected for the talented 22 year-old, who is also interesting Napoli, and the Ukrainian outfit have reportedly placed a £43.3m valuation on their coveted Sao-Paolo born star. Fulham’s bid is worth an initial £32m but also includes around £10m in performance related add-ons and it remains to be seen whether this will be accepted.
The Daily Mirror’s Ryan Taylor reported yesterday that Kevin was not interested in moving to Craven Cottage.
If we want to progress the reviews of young Kevin fit the profile! A good all round player with attributes our existing squad don’t offer.
What’s not to like about west London, compared to Ukraine currently
Oh my God Sky have just announced the news this lad would take Fulham to another level together with other signings if TK pulls this off then it would be all sins forgiven Fingers crossed
Totally agree Mark! Yes Keith I have my fingers crossed!
Get this done! We need the flair of Kevin! Sign a young striker, maybe Romulo. A left back and another midfielder/wing Nelson, Zinchenko, Chukwueze(left footed). Wouldn’t even mind bringing in Sterling for the right price.
I just read on Transfermkt and other sources that Kevin recently got injured

I’m not convinced. All sounds too familiar to the Scott McTominay situation. Chasing someone who would rather play in Napoli and not interested in Fulham. With the money they’re talking this could be our only, or maybe one of two signings. That’s not going to revolutionise us or even give us the depth we need. Particularly now both Jedi and Sess are injured.
It seems almost everyone wants FFC to spend high in the window without considering the potential downside going forward. I remember the fanfare around the 12mil layout for Steve Marlet many years ago, hmmm some will remember his best goal was in his own net from a corner. The truth is FFC have made a loss every year since the Khan’s took over, totalling -£417,000,000! We should hugely prioritise our youth network and build from within where possible. Be careful what you wish for, I remember watching Fulham play in front of less than 3,000 at the cottage following the financial debacle the Earnie Clays years
It’s a very different time and as the players and agents are the tail that wags the dog clubs need to spend money to progress. It’s a constant merry go round.
I honestly can’t see FFC making a profit for years ,if ever. The only hope would be to do a Chelski by building up the Academy and trading. Chelsea have sold £250 million plus in, I think, the last couple of seasons. Are TK and Talbot in that league? Penny pinching over a couple of millions is not the way to do it. Determine the worth of a player to the club, offer it, if it’s not acceptable move on. TK treats negotiations as if he were in the bazaar.
You’re wasting valuable time chaps, pay the price and stop trying to shave a bit off.
Rumors rumors rumors are all Fulham can give. Need some guts in the ownership.
It is not Fulham spreading the rumors that is the media and it takes more than guts to rebuild the riverside stand.
