Russian website Championat claim Fulham are interested in signing Spartak Moscow defender Ilya Kutepov.
Kutepov has previously been linked with a move to West Ham in the Italian press, but Championat say the player is more a target for Fulham, RB Leipzig, and Borussia Monchengladbach.
On Wednesday, West Ham interest was backed up by a second source in Italy.
But Championat explain that whilst foreign media have mentioned other clubs, their information on the Russia side of a deal has Fulham, RB Leipzig, and Borussia Monchengladbach as the likelier.
The 24 year old has impressed with his performances in the World Cup this summer, which has brought him to the attention of other clubs. The host nation has made into the quarter finals of the competition and he’s played in all four games.
With Fulham’s promotion to the Premier League last season the West London club will be looking to bring in reinforcements this summer and it seems the Russia international is an option.
Championat say one European team have already offered €12m to Spartak Moscow but they haven’t disclosed which club this was.
Kutepov made 18 appearances for Spartak last season and is under contract with the Russian club until 2021.
