    Fulham claimed a comfortable 3-1 victory over Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest thanks to a brilliant brace from forward Harry Wilson, as both sides continued their preparations for the 2025-26 campaign.

    Marco Silva gave minutes to 21 different players during the first friendly of their Portugal training camp, as his side cruised to their third pre-season victory at Estadio de Sao Luis.

    Nuno Espirito Santo took a similar approach, handing summer signing Jair Cunha his first minutes in a Nottingham Forest shirt and giving starts to academy quintet Jimmy Sinclair, Aaron Bott, Josh Powell, Adam Berry and Archie Whitehall.

    The Cottagers are set to face Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad in their next pre-season friendly, while Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia await the Reds. Both matches are set to be played on Wednesday, 30 July.

  2. Fulham sign experienced goalkeeper Lecomte

    Fulham have signed French goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte from Ligue 2 Montpellier on a two-year deal.

    The 34-year-old, who has 329 Ligue 1 appearances to his name, is the first summer arrival at Craven Cottage.

    The experienced shot-stopper will provide cover and competition for first-choice goalkeeper Bernd Leno next season, after Steven Benda joined Championship side Millwall on a season-long loan earlier this week.

    Speaking to FFCtv after penning his deal, Lecomte said: "I'm really happy and proud to join Fulham because it is a new step in my career and I think it will be really nice to be part of the club."

  3. Fulham reveal home shirt for 2025-26

    Fulham have unveiled their new home kit for the upcoming 2025-26 season.

    The design will see the traditional white background accompanied by black piping through the shirt and shorts, alongside black accents on the cuffs and neck.

    Named 'Fabric of Fulham', the shirt also features an emblem of the iconic Craven Cottage balcony ironwork woven into the body of the shirt's fabric, as well as in rubber detail on the reverse of the neck and a tribute to the heritage of the club.

    The new strip will make its first on-pitch appearance when the men's side play their pre-season friendly against Nottingham Forest in Portugal on Saturday.

  5. Fulham join race for Sterling and interested in Dewsbury-Hall

    Fulham have expressed an interest in signing both Raheem Sterling and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea this summer.

    Sterling, 30, has no future at Stamford Bridge and is among a group of a dozen or so players training away from the first team in what has been nicknamed the 'bomb squad'.

    Chelsea's strong preference remains to sell Sterling and they have placed a £20m asking price on the winger, although his £300,000-a-week contract still has two years to run, making any deal out of the club more complicated.

    Arsenal previously agreed to split the wage when signing him on loan last season, but even a 50-50 split would be a stretch for Fulham's comparatively modest wage bill.

    Fulham would have to compete against Champions League clubs like Bayer Leverkusen, while Juventus and Napoli have also been credited with an interest.

    They would, however, be attractive to Sterling, who could remain in his family home in London, with his son, Thiago, recently joining Arsenal's academy.

    The Whites remain the only Premier League club yet to make a signing, but they are calm about the situation and aim to keep Marco Silva's current squad together, having made contact to re-sign former loanee Reiss Nelson from Arsenal.

    Meanwhile, Dewsbury-Hall remains valued as a Blues squad player rather than an automatic starter and there is no sense he is pushing for a move, with West Ham also reportedly interested in signing the midfielder if the terms are favourable.

  6. Ridgeon signs long-term deal with Fulham

    Fulham have confirmed teenage midfielder Seth Ridgeon has signed a long-term contract with the club.

    The 16-year-old, who joined Fulham at the age of eight, described the deal as a "dream come true" and said the club is the best place for his development.

    Speaking to FFCtv, Ridgeon said: "It's a very proud moment for me. I've been at the club since I was eight and gone all the way through, and now it's a dream come true to sign with my boyhood club to keep the journey going.

    "Signing here for a lengthy period shows that Fulham produce young players and allow them to have the opportunity here.

    "I think it's the best place to be for my development."

    Ridgeon made the step up to under-21s football last season and captained England Under-17s at this summer's European Championship.

  8. Fulham beat West Bromwich Albion in behind-closed-doors friendly

    Fulham defeated Championship side West Bromwich Albion 1-0 in a friendly played behind closed doors on Tuesday.

    Featuring 22 players throughout the match, the only goal came from Emile Smith Rowe as he slotted home from a Sander Berge through-ball.

    Marco Silva's side will now travel to Portugal for a training camp, during which time they will face fellow Premier League club Nottingham Forest.

    They will take on German club Eintracht Frankfurt at Craven Cottage on 9 August, before starting the new Premier League campaign at Brighton on 16 August.

  11. 'It's genuinely worrying' - fans on summer business

    We asked for your views on Fulham's lack of business so far in the window and their approach to re-sign Reiss Nelson.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Chris A: The Khans typically leave their summer signings late in the window, but this time there isn't even a whiff of speculation, let alone action. It's genuinely worrying. We're supposed to be building a squad to push for Europe, at this rate we'll be battling to stay up.

    Richard: Fulham's fan base is very frustrated with the lack of transfers, a mirror image of what has happened in previous seasons. We are not mollified by the painfully slow re-signing of Cairney and Tete whose contracts had expired - welcome though that is. Fresh blood is needed if the club is to develop. Wake up management!

    Peter: Transfers? To little to late. I thought we would bring Palhinha and Harvey Elliott back.Hope Ryan Sessignon shines like the old days. Marco Silva is working hard to get the team to gel. Iwobi was a revelation. Sadly after 50 years of supporting my only team it will be the same old Fulham. Give us something to cheer. A trophy but not relegation.

    George: Re-signing Nelson on a loan just shows the lack of ambition by our owners, we are more than happy finishing mid-table and show absolutely no hope of kicking on into Europe. Less than one month until the start of the season and yet again our business has been left too late.

    Fulham Talker: As far as first signings go this will be very underwhelming. Our first move for a player is a loan and towards the end of July is a joke. Nelson is a good player but injuries are a concern, and it doesn't really improve our squad whatsoever. We can and should be doing better, and stop taking players from Arsenal.

    Chris: We always take time to do our business, but we made no signings in January and it's clear we need to kick on. Marco indicated a couple of months ago the plans for the summer were in place and a month before the new season we have no new faces through the door.

  12. 'It's like a second home' - King on new long-term deal

    Midfielder Josh King has signed a new four-year deal at Fulham.

    The 18-year-old, who has progressed through the academy, made 11 senior appearances last season, eight of which came in the Premier League.

    King told FFCtv: "I've been at the club for about 13 years now, so it's a long, long time, and I'm just delighted to be continuing and staying for another four years.

    "I say to my family it's like a second home, and it's such a nice feeling to be able to stay here.

    "Obviously I know a lot of people, I've got some good friends and made some really good connections, so it will be nice to continue that on."

    Tony Khan, vice chairman and director of football operations, added: "Josh is an exciting young player. He has been with Fulham for many years and has consistently impressed and has developed well."

  13. Fulham make Nelson approach but remain only PL side without a signing

    Arsenal have received an approach from Fulham to re-sign attacker Reiss Nelson.

    The structure of the deal, which is likely to be a loan, is still to be finalised but talks are ongoing as all parties try to find a resolution.

    Arsenal leave for their pre-season tour of Asia on Saturday and, with Nelson available to leave this summer, there could be a benefit in concluding any transfer before then.

    Gunners academy graduate Nelson spent last season on loan at Craven Cottage, making 13 appearances under Marco Silva before his season was cut short by injury.

    Meanwhile, Bournemouth's's £25m deal for goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic means only three Premier League clubs have spent less than £20m on transfer fees so far this summer - Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and, of course, Fulham.

    In fact, the Whites are now the only side in the division yet to make any signings so far in the summer transfer window, but this could of course change if a deal for Nelson is completed.

    Are you worried by the lack of business so far? And how would you feel about re-signing Nelson?

  14. 'A leader on and off the pitch' - Cairney signs new one-year deal

    Club captain Tom Cairney has signed a new deal until summer 2026 at Fulham.

    The 34-year-old Scotland cap surpassed 350 appearances for the Whites last season and will embark on his 11th campaign at Craven Cottage.

    He told club media: "I'm happy to sign for another year at this amazing football club. I'm delighted. It feels brilliant. It feels right. It's always been home.

    "I've fully enjoyed the past three years in the Premier League, contributing on and off the pitch, and I just want to help take this club as far as I can. I'll always try to do that."

    Tony Khan, Fulham vice-chairman and director of football operations, added: "A leader on and off the pitch, Tom has been present at so many pivotal moments over the past decade, enjoying play-off promotions, scoring vital - sometimes spectacular - goals, and helping to cement our position in the Premier League.

    "He is a great person who the fans, his team-mates and all those associated with Fulham love."

    Kenny Tete has said he hopes Fulham "can push for more" after signing a new contract to 2028.

    The right-back was out of contract at Craven Cottage and had been expected to join Premier League rivals Everton.

    Speaking to FFCtv, Tete expressed his delight at extending his stay, citing the club's family atmosphere and his personal development as key reasons behind the decision.

    "I'm really happy to have signed, for myself and for my family, and I hope I can give more for the fans in these three years, " said the 29-year-old.

    "After my first year, I knew this was a family club, a really special club where I can develop. I want to be part of this group, and hopefully we can push for more."

    Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan said he was "thrilled" at the news, adding: "Under Marco [Silva's] great leadership, Kenny is an integral player in the team.

    "We are all very keen for him to stay with us, and I'm pleased that is now a long-term commitment, as we continue to prepare for another successful Premier League campaign."
