Fofana`s not Coming Back!

With the season finished, one of those players brought in on loan by Kit Symons has returned to his parent club.

Seko Fofana`s time at Craven Cottage would have served the young Frenchman well, even though he was in and out of the starting eleven with some regularity.

However, it appears that the Manchester City youngster will be allowed to go out on loan again next season, but to a club where City feel the 20-year-old will get the regular action he didn`t get at Craven Cottage.

A possible destination being mentioned for Fofana is a club that is closer to home with our championship rivals, Blackburn Rovers, said to be the current favourites.

Fulham Interested in Dunk

I love this time of the year!

The season is over and all that has gone before starts to get lost on the sea of optimism that proceeds the new season, even though it is still a few months away.

Plus, we have the added bonus of the plethora of transfer rumours that keep things ticking over.

Today the gossip column of one very well respected Sunday tabloid has Fulham Football Club, supposedly, showing an interest in the Brighton defender, Lewis Dunk.

Dunk, a 23-year old defender, is rated at around £1.5 million, but we`re not alone in our apparent interest in Dunk with Derby County also being, reportedly, in the mix.

We`ll keep you informed of any further developments.

Stafylidis returns to Bayer 04


 
The 21-year-old defender Konstantinos Stafylidis will play for the Werkself in the 2015/16 campaign. The Greece international went out on loan at the English second tier club Fulham last summer. Stafylidis made 34 league appearances for the London team that ended seventeenth in the Championship table.

With Stafylidis picking up valuable match practice in England Bayer 04 and Fulham agreed the left back could return to Leverkusen for next season.

Fulham showing interest in Brighton's defensive stalwart



By Josh Dixon on May 17, 2015 Brighton & Hove Albion, Championship, Featured, Fulham, News, Transfers

According to reports, Brighton's centre-back Lewis Dunk has drawn the attention of Fulham, with the London outfit apparently eyeing up a transfer.

Dunk has been a part of the Seagulls squad since 2010 and has gone on to make over 100 appearances for the south-coast side.

Despite finishing in 20th place this season, seven points off relegation, the Albion had a respectable defensive record, recording the 6th lowest goals conceded in the league.

An integral part of this impressive defensive record was Dunk, who played in 38 of the 46 league games this term.

Incredibly finishing as Brighton's top scorer with seven goals from centre-back, the defender also added two assists to his attacking contributions.

Having signed a new contract at The Amex in 2014, Dunk would be commanding a price tag of around £1.5 million.

Rumour Round-Up: The Latest Fulham Transfer Gossip




The Sun are reporting that Fulham are readying a £7 million bid for Birmingham youngster Demarai Gray - the 3rd source to report this rumour

The 18-year-old burst onto the scene for Birmingham City this year, playing in 35 games, a tremendous achievement at such a young age. He has recently been called up to train with the England under-21s but has also been linked with a £5-7million deal to the Cottagers. Gray has a year left on his contract and has attracted significant interest from the Premier League new-boys, Bournemouth, who have had three bids rejected already whilst Liverpool and PSV Eindhoven are also, reportedly, in the reckoning.

Fulham are believed to have bid a second time for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk. Fee is believed to be £750k.

Sky Sources believe that Fulham had a bid rejected earlier on in the week, but have since upped their offer to £750k. This is still surprising, as the defender is valued above £4m in many eyes. He is just one of many youngsters which Fulham are keeping tabs on. The Rams are also reported to be keen on the 23-year-old centre-back, along with Championship rivals Fulham. Brighton are said to be keen to keep hold of one of their brightest prospects, who signed a four-year contract with his hometown club last summer. Dunk has made more than 100 appearances for the Seagulls, having come through the youth ranks. He played 44 games this season and scored seven goals.

Fulham, Charlton Athletic and Brentford are interested in taking former MK Dons star Dele Alli on loan next season, reports MK Web.

The 19-year-old joined Tottenham Hotspur in a £5 million deal in February but was allowed to spend the rest of the season at stadium MK, where he helped the club win promotion to the Championship on the last day of the League One season. But Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino may be willing to let the midfielder go out on loan for another season to further develop his footballing education. The Argentine will run the rule over Alli once he joins up with the squad for pre-season training. Alli came through the youth ranks at MK Dons and went on to score 24 goals in 88 appearances.

Emmanuel Emenike has rejected the chance to play his football in Qatar next season and has been linked with Fulham.

Fenerbahce want to offload Nigerian international Emmanuel Emenike in part exchange. If the name is familiar, this was the same Emenike that demanded to be substituted after being booed by his own fans during their 1-0 home win over rivals Besiktas in March. Emenike, is in his second spell at the club, has only scored four goals in 25 Turkish Super League appearances this season. He joined Fenerbahce in 2011 but was linked to a match-fixing scandal, though later cleared and joined Spartak Moscow before playing a game for the Istanbul club. He then rejoined in 2013 for a reported £10.2 million.

Portsmouth star, Jed Wallace is a transfer target for Fulham & Wolves this summer.

The contract Wallace signed last summer contains a transfer fee release clause, with Fulham, Ipswich and Wolves among those showing interest. The newly-appointed Blues boss met the 21-year-old at the club's training ground on Wednesday afternoon in an attempt to clarify his future. There would also be a transfer fee involved, with the youngster's contract clause believed to be worth £275,000.

French press are linking Fulham and Seville with former Middlesborough midfielder, Didier Digard.

The 26 year old, 6ft defensive midfielder only made 32 appearances for Boro before going to Nice on loan and then joining on a permanent transfer. Digards contract only has 1 year left before he's available on a free so his fee shouldn't be too high. With so many of Fulham's midfielders running out of contract in the summer, expect this to be one of many links for players across the centre.

Bryan Ruiz has been linked to a £4.3m move to Porto, Sporting Lisbon or Benfica despite having his contract extended by Fulham

It is believed that the Cottagers will be seeking a transfer fee of anything in excess of £5million pounds for the 29-year-old, who still has a lot to give in the professional game as a creative midfielder eager to cement his ability in one of Europe's top leagues again. His new contract means he is contracted with Fulham until June of 2016, and although it was reported he was set to leave the club last summer to La Liga outfit Levante, the loan-to-buy move fell through.

Lasse Vigen Christensen has shut down Aston Villa rumours by commenting on his long term commitment to the Whites.

Speaking to West London Sport, 20-year-old Christensen has admitted that his future lies with Fulham, despite interest in him from Villa this season. "It would have been stupid for me to go in January. I'd only just got in the team and I still have lots to learn and do. I heard a bit from the lads [about the Villa rumours] but there was no way I was going to leave in January. "I've been at this club for a fairly long time and when you're connected to a club you want to see them do well. I want to see Fulham back in the Premier League. That's all I'm thinking about."

Fulham and Nottingham Forest will battle it out to sign Bolton defender Matt Mills

Get West London is reporting that Bolton Wanderers and Instagram's own Matt Mills has been discussing a free transfer move to either Nottingham Forest or Fulham. Mills, who joined the Super Whites for £2m in 2012, is believed to be on the brink of cutting ties with the club in the hope of improving his reported £18,000 a week salary. He almost joined the London side on loan after Christmas, but such was his initial form under Neil Lennon that the ex-Celtic boss was reluctant to let him go. Mills' dreadful form in the last three months however has seemingly softened the manager's position on the player.

Not sure where he will get more playing time, he was given quite a number of starts and sub appearances. While he was very exciting to watch he couldn't shoot straight. Yes I know he scored one goal on a rebound but his initial shot hit the post, and that was the closest I saw him get at the Cottage he always put it in row Z.
