It’s wasn’t a bad Saturday for Fulham. Promotion to the Premier League at the expense of Aston Villa was much deserved and now they need to start planning for at least one season in the top tier of English football.
One of the Championship sides who scouted in Europe the most, Fulham will already have a list of targets ready to go for, compiled depending on which league they found themselves in next season.
L’Equipe believe that one of the targets, and one who may have been suitable for either Championship or Premier League, is Lamine Fonda. The French newspaper report the 20 year old has previously come close to signing for Tottenham.
Before signing his first professional contract with Auxerre, Fonda was the subject of a serious approach from Spurs and nearly signed for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
Deciding to continue with Auxerre at that time, a change could be on the cards this summer, and L’Equipe say the midfielder has ‘aroused the interest’ of Fulham.
There’s no slant on whether Tottenham will come back in for him.
