Fulham weigh up move for Basel winger Otele
- Published
Fulham are exploring a move for FC Basel winger Philip Otele before deadline day.
The Cottagers have looked at multiple players and have recently sent scouts while asking for the conditions about what it would take to sign the 26-year-old from the Swiss Super League club.
Otele is believed to be available for about £15m and is a cheaper option to other targets like Arsenal's Reiss Nelson and Shakhtar's Kevin.
The Nigerian has two goals and two assists in the Swiss top flight this season having played in Lithuania, Romania and UAE. He also had a trial at Arsenal at the age of 14.
Negotiations for Kevin are not believed to have progressed this week as Shakhtar continue to hold out for over £43m. It remains unclear whether the Ukrainian club are willing to negotiate.
Atalanta hold interest in Rodrigo Muniz, who is valued highly at Craven Cottage.
