Fulham to take Cavaleiro on loan

Fulham are poised to announce the signing of Portuguese winger Ivan Cavaleiro on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to the Daily Telegraph.
The 25 year-old will initially move to Craven Cottage on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy. The right winger, who has earned two senior caps for Portugal, has scored 19 goals in 106 appearances during three years at Molinuex after joining from Monaco for £7m in August 2016. Cavaleiro scored nine times in 42 appearances as Wolves romped to the Championship title in 2017/2018 and scored three goals in 23 games in the top flight last season.
Cavaleiro, who came through the Benfica youth set-up, has been made available for loan for the forthcoming campaign and Fulham are understood to have beaten off competition from the likes of Huddersfield Town and Derby County to secure his services. He has a terrific European football pedigree, having helped Benfica win a domestic treble in 2013-14 as well as reach the Europa League final, where they lost to Sevilla. The winger also won the European Under 21 championships with Portugal in 2015.
Fulham's capture of Cavaleiro would significantly strengthen their options on the right wing – a key area for recruitment – ahead of their return to the Championship. Cavaleiro has been a long-term Fulham target, with the Whites having tried to sign him last summer unsuccessfully.

WOLVES PLAYER ON THE VERGE OF MOLINEUX EXIT WITH CLUB SET TO SEAL LOAN DEAL

Fulham are set to sign Ivan Cavaleiro from Wolves, reports The Telegraph's John Percy.

The move would see the winger join on a season-long loan with an option in place to make the move permanent should The Cottagers wish to.

The Portuguese player has been in-demand for much of the summer, with Huddersfield previously linked, but it seems Fulham have won the race to sign him.

Cavaleiro struggled for game time last season, making just 23 Premier League appearances, only six of which were starts.

The 25-year-old really impressed in his last spell in the Championship. His pace and direct style turned Wolves into a real attacking force after his £7m move from Monaco, and he played a big role in Wolves' 2018 title win.

He scored nine goals and made 12 assists that season, and Fulham will hope he can contribute in a similar fashion in order to help them to promotion.

The Verdict

This is an astute signing from Fulham and their attacking options suddenly look a lot more threatening. Cavaleiro's pace will be a great weapon this season and his ability to take on defenders should prove invaluable.

He is a great player to have when playing counter-attacking football too, so in those big matches away from home he could really be the decisive factor, and those matches are ultimately what decide promotion.

Cavaleiro knows the division too and he will be raring to go after a frustrating season mostly spent on the sidelines. If he can channel that energy into performances then he should be one to look out for this season.

Fulham closing in on deal for Wolves attacker – loan with view to permanent switch

According to respected journalist John Percy, Championship side Fulham are poised to complete a deal for Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro, who is set to join the club on a season-long loan deal with an option for a permanent move at the end of the season.

After their relegation from the Premier League, Fulham are looking to bolster their squad with some Championship quality players ahead of the new season under Scott Parker. And, with Ryan Babel leaving Craven Cottage and Andre Schurrle returning to Borussia Dortmund, Fulham are in the market for a new winger.

Now, it seems set that they will be filling the gaps left by Babel and Schurrle with Wolves attacker Ivan Cavaleiro, with Telegraph journalist John Percy reporting on Twitter (see below) that the Portuguese winger is set to join the club on loan, with the option of a permanent deal included as well.

The 25-year-old fell out of favour in the Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo over the course of last season, with the majority of his 29 appearances across all competitions coming off the bench. In total, Cavaleiro netted five goals and provided two assists along the way.

He played an important role in their promotion to the Premier League in the 2017/18 campaign, scoring nine goals and laying on 13 assists as Wolves won the Championship. Overall, Cavaleiro has made 106 appearances for Wolves, scoring 19 and assisting 20 goals.

But, with a move to Fulham reportedly on the cards, it awaits to be seen if the winger will be adding to that total.

Ivan Cavaleiro: Wolves winger set for Fulham medical ahead of loan

Ivan Cavaleiro is set to have a medical at Fulham today ahead of a season-long loan move from Wolves.

The deal also includes an option to buy, Sky Sports News understands.

The winger, who made 23 appearances in the Premier League last season, had been named in Wolves' squad to play in the Asia Trophy but is now heading to London instead.

The Portuguese international was part of the Wolves side that won the Championship in 2017-18.

Cavaleiro is the second Wolves winger to move on loan to the Championship, with Helder Costa completing his move to Leeds last week.

'Tearing my hair out' Concerned Wolves fans react to the club's latest transfer plan
The winger is set to become the second high profile departure in recent weeks

Wolves fans have been reacting to the news that Ivan Cavaleiro is poised to join Fulham on a season-long loan deal .

The Portuguese winger fell out of favour last season following Nuno Espirito Santo's tactical switch in December.

That left both Cavaleiro and his compatriot Helder Costa on the peripheries of the Wolves squad as they embarked on their record breaking campaign.

Costa has completed a switch to the Championship with Leeds United and now Cavaleiro is set to join him in the second tier with the Cottagers.

The Telegraph have reported that Fulham, who were interested in the 26-year-old last summer, have agreed a deal with Wolves that will see him move to West London on-loan with an option to become permanent.

Wolves fans meanwhile are still waiting to see their first addition arrive at Molineux as they stand less than two weeks away from their competitive opener.

@Danny_Powers: If cavaleiro does go, that's another fan favourite gone and another chant to go with it. Was crucial to us going up from champ, had his moments in the prem but was always going to be replaced at some point. Wish him all the best at Fulham... 1 2 3 4

@PaddyDay90: Best of luck to Cav. I was tearing my hair out when the likes of him and Saiss were wasted on that dinosaur Lambert. Cav thrived under Nuno in our Championship-winning season. Play him in a fluid front three at that level and you'll get 20 goals and assists out of him.

@BoothJan: After what we've been treated to over the past 2 years, what more do Fosun have to do to earn a bit more trust and respect from some of our fans? They know what they're doing, players will come in - stop the ridiculous overreactions

@primgem: Will be sad to see @Ivancavaleiro17 leave, he was my favourite player when he arrived. Him and @heldercosta_ saved us that first season despite Lambert but the club moves on

@WolvesTruth: Sorry, but if Cav goes we need a minimum 4-5 new players. And I don't mean U23's who 'could' progress. They are separate to the first team completely and we need to stop labelling them as such when we're getting rid of players like we are!

@geff_87: Cav will only be on his way if we have a replacement lined up. Everybody chill

Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro closing in on season-long loan switch to Fulham
The wideman tore up the Championship when Wolves were in it.

Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro is closing in on a loan exit from Molineux to join recently-relegated Fulham, according to the Express and Star.

They report that the pacy wideman will spend the season at Craven Cottage and then the Whites will have an option – no obligation – to buy him next summer.

Cavaliero follows Helder Costa out of the Molineux exit door and means that Nuno Santo's already thin squad is about to get even thinner – perhaps intensifying the need for new blood.

He joined Wolves in 2016 for a reported (Sky Sports) £7 million – which was a club record at the time – but found it hard to impress in the Premier League last term.

Cavaleiro got nine goals and 12 assists in Wolves' promotion season – which shows what an asset he can be in the second tier – and should help Fulham to get back towards the flowing football that got them up the same year.

But from a Wolves' perspective the concern perhaps isn't losing the player – because he wasn't integral in the top flight – but how thin it leaves the squad ahead of the new season.

There is still time to get new faces through the door but replacing forwards with greater quality doesn't come cheap in the modern market and Wolves won't get any money for Costa or Cavaleiro this summer because they're both on loan.

A step in the right direction, good signing 049:gif

Sounds positive and a good signing to boost what is essentially the team from 17/18.

Cav set to leave Wolves to join Fulham on loan

Ivan Cavaleiro is set to leave Wolves for Fulham on a season-long loan with a view to a £12m permanent transfer.

The Cottagers have beaten off competition from fellow relegated club Huddersfield and play-off finalists Derby for the Portuguese's signature. The 25-year-old was made available for loan or transfer this summer by head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, a decision which quickly sparked no shortage of interest from elsewhere.

As reported by www.wolvesbite.com on May 22, Cavaleiro has long been a target of the Cottagers. He was first linked with a move there last summer. Now the move is set to go through and he will follow Leeds signing Helder Costa back to the Championship.

Cavaleiro will travel to West London for talks rather than board the plane to China with the rest of Wolves' squad this weekend. His departure leaves Wolves desperately short of options in the forward positions after Costa departed. Diogo Jota is now the only experienced, recognised attacker on the trip, with Raul Jimenez on his break to July 22 and the back-up provided by youngster Niall Ennis and the untried Theo Corbeanu, though Adama Traore can play up front.

Cavaliero scored with his first touch in the Premier League when he netted the first in the 2-0 home win over Southampton on Septemeber 29. But he made only six starts in the league for Wolves in 2018-19, with a further 17 appearances off the bench and a total of three goals.

He scored 19 goals in 106 games in all competitions since joining Wolves for a then club joint record £7m in August 2016 from Monaco. He was the first big money signing under Fosun's ownership – signing a five-year contract on the same day as the return of Richard Stearman on loan from Fulham – and helped them win the Championship title in 2017-18, netting nine times in 42 games.

But he struggled for regular action in the second half of last season, making just six starts in the top flight with another 17 appearances off the bench, scoring three goals. He added another two strikes in the FA Cup run to the semi-finals, where he missed a golden chance against Watford at Wembley.

After January 2, Cavaleiro made just one Premier League start, in the 2-0 defeat at Burnley, and, like the now departed Helder Costa, was a victim of the successful switch from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2, which suited Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota so well.

Derby County will reportedly miss out on Ivan Cavaleiro to Fulham

Derby County and Fulham are reportedly interested in Ivan Cavaleiro of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Fulham are set to sign Ivan Cavaleiro from Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to The Express & Star, meaning that Derby County are set to miss out on the 25-year-old winger.

According to The Express & Star, Fulham are on the verge of landing Cavaleiro on a season-long loan deal from Premier League club Wolves in the summer transfer window.

The report has also claimed that the Cottagers - who will play in the Championship next season after getting relegated from the Premier League - will have the option to secure the services of the Portugal international on a permanent contract next summer.

Missing out

Fulham reportedly set to sign Cavaleiro from Wolves means that Derby will miss out on the services of the former AS Monaco player.

According to a recent report on WolvesBite, the Rams are looking at the possibility of signing the 25-year-old, who can also operate as a forward.

Cavaleiro joined Wolves from AS Monaco in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Express & Star to be worth £7 million.

[Bassey the warrior]

Would be an excellent signing, especially on loan. Has what we are lacking, pace. Also he seems to make the right choices in the final third, unlike his colleague Traore. Really excited if this comes off.

[BigbadBillyMcKinley]

Definitely worth putting a score on mitro being league top scorer. Will be the perfect foil for each other.

if it happens then that's a good start to our summer business.

Fulham 'set to sign' Wolves star linked with Derby County transfer
Phillip Cocu's side have reportedly missed out

Fulham are set to sign reported Derby County transfer target Ivan Cavaleiro.

The Rams had been linked with the Portuguese winger along with relegated duo Huddersfield Town and the Cottagers.

Now Wolverhampton-based publication the Express and Star reckon the 25-year-old will join Scott Parker's side on loan on Friday with an option to buy the former Monaco man, with Phillip Cocu's Rams set to miss out.

Cavaleiro played a crucial role as Nuno Espirito Santo's Wovles gained promotion to the Premier League in 2017-18.

He endured a difficult first season under Walter Mazzari and Paul Lambert, but Santo's arrival revitalised Cavaleiro and saw him net nine times and set up 12 goals as Wolves walked the Championship - netting in a 2-0 win at Pride Park .

Opportunities were limited last campaign, though, with only 23 appearances afforded to the former Benfica man in the top flight.

True, but we'll have to score a minimum of three a match to win with our back line.
