Fulham are on the verge of completing a deal for RB Leipzig forward Ademola Lookman, who will arrive at Craven Cottage on loan.
Lookman has been linked with a return to England after struggling in Germany following an €18m move from Everton last year.
There were claims yesterday that there had been movement in the talks between Leipzig and Fulham and that a move was a distinct possibility.
BILD now say a deal has been struck, with Fulham set to sign the forward on a year-long loan deal, having agreed to pay a €2m fee to secure his signature.
Indeed, Lookman has even been left out of Leipzig’s squad for their upcoming clash with Bayer Leverkusen, and it is claimed he is on his way to his new club to undergo a medical ‘in a timely manner’.
While he is on the way through the entrance door at Craven Cottage, Jean Michael-Seri appears to be getting pushed towards the exit.
Il Roma, relayed by Area Napoli, report that the midfielder has been ‘proposed’ to both Inter Milan and Napoli, with Fulham keen to move him on after he returned from a loan spell at Galatasaray.
They say Seri can be loaned for a fee of €1.5m making him an appealing prospect, particularly for Napoli, who are on the hunt for midfield reinforcements.
A move is ‘complicated’, though as Napoli’s sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is looking for a player who has already played in Italy, to avoid any issues settling in.
That would suggest they’re not keen on Seri, and there’s no mention of how Inter responded to the offer either, but what is clear is that Fulham are touting him around and he’s a name to keep an eye on as we get closer to the end of the transfer window.
