Medical due ‘in the coming hours’ on Fulham transfer, then announcement will be made

 

Marca report in their Friday edition that Fulham and Celta Vigo are set to complete a transfer, maybe as quickly as today.

Jozabed Sánchez Ruiz, known simply as Jozabed, is expected to have Celta Vigo medical examinations ‘in the coming hours’, and, should everything go to plan, the player could be unveiled in a Celta shirt later today.

Marca don’t go over any terms on the Fulham transfer but another Spanish newspaper, AS, say Jozabed will be loaned for a year and a half. The player’s Fulham contract runs out in June 2018, so that would leave him with a season remaining at Craven Cottage.

Jozabed hasn’t done enough to convince Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic that he deserves a place in the team, and is returning to Spain in the hope of getting more minutes on the pitch.

The 27 year old signed for Fulham from Rayo Vallecano in August, and will probably be very happy Celta, a top division side, have come in for him.
