Overview

  • Marco Silva publicly branded Fulham's transfer window approach “too passive” and warned that some positions are “very short” in numbers.
  • The club's only confirmed summer signing is goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, who joined on a free transfer from Montpellier.
  • Fulham’s reported opening bid of £26 million for a Shakhtar winger was rejected as the Ukrainian side holds out for closer to £43 million.
  • Talks to secure Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson on a permanent deal have stalled despite Silva’s keen interest following last season’s loan.
  • Silva said Rodrigo Muniz remains in contention for the upcoming opener against Brighton and pressed the board to complete reinforcements before the window closes.
