Kongolo having a medical this morning...
According to Sky Sports tonight , Fulham are in advanced talks to sign Kongolo from Huddersfield, they signed him for £18 million
Don't see how getting a player from a team who is in 20th place and doesn't want him is a good thing.
As has been mentioned a number of times. The kid was signed for 18million for a reason. Played extremely well at feyenoord where the fans loved him, was also good enough to play for Monaco before that.
Went to Huddersfield and was of their only top quality players last year. Reportedly fell out with the Cowley brothers (which I gather isn't unsurprising for them) as he wasnt enjoying his time there and the general feeling from my understanding is they think he clearly has premier league talent, but that he doesn't want to be at the club anymore along with a couple of others.
So we'd be getting a player who's played plenty of quality football, for a better fee than we might have normally due to his current form for a strugggling side,but who could have huge upside... IF he wants to play here. None of us know the exact story of why Kongolo is in the situation he is, but what's clear is there is a talented player there who needs a new start. That's worked for us before, (see as recently as Mitro and Johanson) so its not as simple as - he can't even get into their team hows he good enough for us.
Jury's out on this one, but if he's up for it it could actually work out much better than many are expecting
