Andre Schurrle, on a two year loan from Borussia Dortmund, has arguably been one of Fulham’s better signings of recent windows, but on its own that’s hardly a badge of honour.
The club haven’t had the best of times from transfer markets and there often seems to be a lack of planning, no firm direction, and then a resulting scattergun approach.
With six Premier League goals, Schurrle is the club’s second highest scorer. Unfortunately only one of those has come in 2019.
With the club having their relegation to the Championship confirmed this week, now comes the more serious talk about exits.
This week’s edition of Kicker ponders what will happen to Schurrle, and they make it clear a future at Borussia Dortmund isn’t likely.
The German magazine say that according to the player’s entourage ‘everything is in limbo’. There’s no firm decision, and he’s keeping a low profile ahead of the birth of his first child this month.
He does have a clause which allows him to jump off the sinking Fulham ship.
In February, the same magazine asked him if he’d continue at Fulham should they be relegated: “No. My loan would end in the case of relegation. The contract in Dortmund would be active again.”
