Fulham target Kevin scored and played the whole 120 minutes as Shakhtar Donetsk came from behind to qualify for the group stages of the UEFA Conference League by beating Servette 2-1 after extra time.
Reports earlier this week had suggested that the Whites were close to completing a deal to sign the 22 year-old winger having re-opened discussions with Shakhtar about a possible £40m move to Craven Cottage. The promising pacey Brazilian is understood to be interested in moving to the Premier League, but the Miners are holding out for as much as possible in terms of a fee for their prised asset. Kevin’s presence in the starting line-up suggests there is some way to go before a deal can be concluded.
Kevin converted a penalty with twenty minutes to go, which cancelled out an early Servette goal. In an end-to-end enthralling extra time, Pedrinho set up substitute Kaua Elias, who fired Shakhtar into the group stages. They will find out their opponents in the group stages in the draw, which is due to take place later today.
Not gonna happen move on or we’re get no one. Which looks very likely
He didn’t look like a player who was going anywhere else last night. What a mess this transfer window has been.
Don’t think we’re really after anyone nothing agreed all paper talk. When window closes. Silva be of to Forest
I’m sure we will get some old geezer on a free minutes before the deadline so don’t worry.
When will we learn! We keep repeating the same stance leaving any business to the last minute. It is disrespectful to Marco
