Fulham Close To Record Kevin Transfer, Deal Hinges On Player Terms

Fulham are close to signing Brazilian winger Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk. Talks are done between the clubs, but they need to agree on Kevin’s contract. This transfer could be Fulham’s most expensive one ever; reports indicate that it is worth up to €50 million.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fulham and Shakhtar have agreed on a fee over £34.6 million for Kevin, a 22-year-old winger, which could indeed be Fulham’s biggest transfer. The clubs believe the deal will happen, but Kevin must agree to Fulham’s contract terms. He is expected in London for talks. Kevin scored 17 goals and made 10 assists in 57 games for Shakhtar last season. He has played in the Champions League. If signed, Kevin would be Fulham’s second summer signing after goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte. Furthermore, they are in advanced talks to finalize this signing.

FULHAM’S SEASON SO FAR

Fulham have started slowly in the Premier League, earning only two points from three games and are near the bottom of the table. Chelsea recently beat Fulham 2-0. After last season’s record 54 points, fans expected more progress. The squad is still thin, especially in attack, with players like Andreas Pereira and Carlos Vinícius leaving. To compete higher in the table, manager Marco Silva needs to improve the attack. Fulham’s next game is against Leeds United, who are above them in the standings. Fulham are currently in 18th place, with only two points from three matches and looking at changing the recent results.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR KEVIN AND FULHAM?

Fulham are trying to settle Kevin’s contract before Monday’s transfer deadline. If signed, Kevin will likely play soon and help Fulham’s weak attack. Fulham’s near future is tough, with matches against Leeds United, who are above them in the table. If Kevin joins, fans hope his skills and experience will help the team avoid early-season problems. Negotiations continue, and Fulham fans eagerly await an official announcement.
