Having only signed Jean-Michael Seri from Nice to bolster their midfield, there was no chance Fulham were done in that department before the transfer deadline, and they’ve returned to France to do their shopping.
According to Foot Mercato ’s Dahbia Hattabi, the man they are about to sign is André-Franck Zambo Anguissa from Marseille.
The 22-year-old defensive midfielder emerged as one of the more regular options for Rudi Garcia last season in his midfield three, and started attracting interest from the Premier League as early as January.
However, the Ligue 1 side held on to him as they went on to reach the Europa League final, but it seems Fulham have simply offered too much for them to refuse.
Sauf retournement de situation, ce qui reste possible, Zambo Anguissa (OM) devrait rejoindre Fulham où un contrat de 4 ans l’attend. Visite médicale a priori à Marseille. Montant de l’opération : 30 millions d’euros.

The Cottagers are expected to sign Zambo Anguissa on a four-year contract and will spend €30m to acquire his services.
The midfielder should undergo his medical in Marseille, we’re guessing to save some time, and Hattabi explained this is likely to go through barring any unexpected U-turns.
Slavisa Jokanovic and co. mean business.
