As you know, Fulham, in need of a left-back, were looking around for the right man.
In the end, the Craven Cottage side decided to take a gamble on Layvin Kurzawa, who as hugely out of favour at Paris-Saint German.
Marco Silva is said to have wanted the player, and Fulham agreed to bring him in on loan for the season with an option to make the move permanent.
However, if Media Foot in France are to be believed, the negotiations to get Kurzawa weren’t as smooth as first reported.
Represented by Base Soccer Agency, the defender was ‘first offered mid-August without a positive answer from Fulham’.
Then, after failing to find anyone else despite trying quite a bit, the English club ‘ended up activating the option leading to the Frenchman’.
The hope from Fulham’s end is that he doesn’t have a similar trajectory to the one he had in Paris, where he was barely used, sitting on the bench or in the stands while cashing in his hefty paycheque.
