Fulham Push For Late Double Winger Move Ahead Of Transfer Deadline

Fulham are working hard to sign both Kevin Macedo from Shakhtar Donetsk and Samu Chukwueze from AC Milan, as they aim to strengthen their attack before the transfer window closes.

FULHAM TARGET €65M DOUBLE DEAL

Negotiations are moving quickly for both right and left wingers. Fulham have reached a verbal agreement with Shakhtar for Kevin Macedo, with a deal worth up to €50M, including bonuses. According to reports, Fulham are trying to sign the 22-year-old winger Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk, although the club reportedly wants at least £43 million for him, which has led to some discussions stalling due to price demands as recent updates indicate. The club has also discussed a €25M package with AC Milan for Samu Chukwueze. Kevin has had a striking start to the season, scoring four goals and assisting twice in just three games for Shakhtar. He moved from Palmeiras in January and has become one of their most valuable players already. Chukwueze, meanwhile, has featured prominently for Milan this season, though his impact so far has been modest compared to last season. Fulham are urgently making these moves after the departure of veteran winger Willian, looking to refresh their options out wide before the transfer window closes in just days.

FULHAM’S SEASON SO FAR

Fulham have had a mixed start this year, sitting 13th in the Premier League after two games where they drew both games. Their attack has struggled for goals following Willian’s exit, and manager Marco Silva has called for new signings to improve results. Last season’s top scorer, Rodrigo Muniz, has yet to hit form, and the team has just one win from three matches. Emile Smith Rowe, signed last summer, was Fulham’s previous club record transfer. Bringing in Kevin Macedo would break that record, showing the club’s growing ambition. Milan, Chukwueze’s current club, finished 8th in Serie A after a disappointing season. Chukwueze has not scored yet, but his pace and dribbling remain key features of Milan’s attack.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FULHAM AND THEIR TARGETS?

Fulham visit Chelsea this weekend, with Chelsea in the top half with one win and one draw so far this campaign. Fulham hope to close the gap and move up the table after a slow start. If the transfers for Kevin and Chukwueze are completed, both players could quickly become starters in Silva’s lineup. Their arrival would give Fulham an attacking boost for the rest of the season, and fans are eager to see new talent on the pitch. Shakhtar and Milan will be looking to reinvest the transfer fees, as both need improvements after mixed results in their leagues. The outcome of these negotiations over the coming days could change Fulham’s season and strengthen their top-flight ambitions.
