After a boring and disappointing summer for Fulham fans, the club have turned it on this deadline day. They had made just one “signing” all summer: Benjamin Lecomte, a 34-year-old back-up goalkeeper who cost only half a million pounds. However, they are now making a late push for three attacking signings: Kevin, Samuel Chukwueze, and Kusi Asare.

Fulham Racing Against Time for Triple Signing
Kusi Asare Almost Done
The final piece of the hat-trick, Asare, is almost done, according to Florian Plettenberg. Fulham are in a “race against time” but will hope to get it over the line before the deadline. They will sign him on loan, with no option to buy, as Bayern Munich rate him so highly. The fee will be up to €4 million (around £3.5 million).

Fulham Beat Sporting to Kevin Signing As Well
Not only have Fulham beaten Sporting to the signing of Asare, they also beat them to the signing of promising winger Kevin. That deal is a permanent one, at around £30 million up front with £4 million in add-ons. Fabrizio Romano gave his famous “Here We Go” for the transfer.

Samuel Chukwueze Loan
Another signing that Romano has given his “Here We Go” for is Chukwueze. This is a loan, like Asare, but this time with a buy option (that is not mandatory). Whilst the total package could be over £20 million, Fulham are showing that they are still unwilling to spend too much, with two of their three signings being loans. It appears that they have put most of their eggs in the Kevin basket.
