Fulham are pursuing incoming wide options including Chelsea's Tyrique George, Shakhtar Donetsk forward Kevin and Nigerian attacker Samu Chukwueze. Personal terms with Kevin remain difficult despite a medical, which could force Harry Wilson to stay at Craven Cottage. If all three signings are completed, Leeds might convince Fulham to accept a cheaper permanent deal to remove Wilson from their wage bill rather than retain a surplus player. Wilson extended his contract recently by one year, a move clubs use to protect transfer value. Fulham's senior wide options are limited, increasing urgency to complete the triple deal.
Fulham could offload winger Harry Wilson permanently before this evening's transfer deadline, if they are able to get a trio of deals over the line. Craven Cottage chiefs are working on a number of incoming transfers, which includes Chelsea's Tyrique George, Shakhtar Donetsk wide forward Kevin and Nigerian attacker Samu Chukwueze. FourFourTwo understands personal terms have so far been difficult to agree with Kevin, despite a medical having taken place, therefore Wilson may be required to stay in West London.
If Fulham are successful in their pursuit of George, Kevin and Chukwueze, the club could be persuaded by Leeds to do a deal more cheaply in order to get the player off the Londoners' books, rather than keeping a player who subsequently becomes surplus to requirements. The Wales international recently extended his contract at Fulham, renewing for another year only three-and-a-half months ago.
Fulham's wide attacking options are limited with defender Timothy Castagne starting the season as Marco Silva's first-choice right-winger, ahead of the Wales international. Aside from Wilson, the club's only other senior wide options are Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi, hence the desire to do a triple deal before deadline. That said, Emile Smith Rowe has also been known to play wide for the club.
