Fulham’s desperate (and, let’s be honest, that’s not a stretch) search for a striker at the end of the transfer window eventually led them to Cyriac.
Playing for Oostende, the 26 year old joined on loan for the rest of the season. He wasn’t Fulham’s first choice, or perhaps even their 10th, but he was there and available when needed.
Fourteen goals last season helped build Cyriac’s reputation, but he’d slipped down the pecking order at Oostende, so naturally jumped at the Fulham opportunity.
Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad report comments from Oostende’s Luc Devroe, who explained Fulham have been in touch.
With the play-offs the main concern right now, Fulham have told Oostende that whilst they’ve been impressed by Cyriac, they’d like to forgo the buying option, and talk again once their league status for next season is finalised.
