Sylvester Jasper: Colchester United sign Fulham forward on loan
- Published
Sylvester Jasper has played for Fulham's academy side in the Papa John's Trophy
League Two side Colchester United have signed forward Sylvester Jasper on loan from Fulham until January.
The 19-year-old has played three times for the Cottagers' first team, all as a substitute in the 2019-20 campaign.
Jasper scored eight goals in 18 games for the Championship side's under-23 team last season.
He could go some way to replacing winger Kwame Poku, who joined Peterborough United for a "substantial six-figure fee" on Monday.
"Speaking with my coaches at Fulham we felt this season the target would be to get some first team football," Sylvester told BBC Essex.
"Hayden Mullins [Colchester head coach] showed some interest which I'm thankful for and this is a really good opportunity for me."
