Fulham make contact for free signing – Power vacuum could benefit Silva’s side for summer deal

Fulham have identified AS Roma’s Leonardo Spinazzola as a target for the summer, according to ASRomaLive.it.

The left-back has managed a goal and four assists from 28 games this season and his future still needs to be clarified.

Last month, the Serie A side parted ways with general manager Tiago Pinto and are yet to appoint his successor. This has impacted the 30-year-old’s renewal and Fulham could take advantage of the situation.

Spinazzola’s deal expires in June and Fulham have entered into the picture to sign him on a free transfer. It’s claimed the Italy international has been the subject of a new survey from Marco Silva’s side. That’ll be an effort to get some information, likely over whether he’s keen on the move.

Silva has Antonee Robinson and Fodé Ballo-Touré as the two left-backs at his disposal. The latter is on loan from AC Milan and after being restricted to a limited role this season, he could return to the San Siro in the summer.

Robinson has been linked with a move away from Fulham, and if he were to leave, the Premier League side would have to bring in two new left-backs. Therefore, Fulham are monitoring a few options and have reportedly made contact for Spinazzola.
