With one eye on the summer transfer window and another on ending the current Premier League campaign with a flourish, Fulham have now reportedly seen one target make his choice over a potential move.

Fulham still battling for shock European place

Victory at Craven Cottage against Liverpool last time out sums up the quality that Marco Silva’s side have at their best. After initially falling behind courtesy of a stunning strike from Alexis Mac Allister, the west London Club flipped the game on its head and raced into a 3-1 lead at the break.

Even when Luis Diaz’s effort threatened to get the Reds back into proceedings, Fulham earned a deserved three points.

Having made such a statement with victory, Fulham still have every chance of confirming a shock European qualification ahead of the likes of Aston Villa, and Marco Silva spoke about his side’s chances in this week’s press conference.

The Fulham boss told reporters: “We set the target at the beginning of the season for us to arrive in the final stages fighting for something important.

“It is not extra pressure or more pressure for us. It is a privilege to have this type of thing. It is what I want. It is the pressure that I put on myself, my staff, my players and now if we have the chance to fight [for it], we have to embrace it.”

Silva will need no telling just how much of an impact European Football would make to his side’s summer transfer window, especially amid reports that one target has already made his choice between Craven Cottage and a European Club. Whether that choice changes if Fulham achieve what they’ve set out will certainly be interesting to see, however.

“Complete” Ioannidis makes transfer decision

According to Football Insider, Fotis Ioannidis is now closing in on an agreement to join Sporting CP despite interest from Fulham. What’s more, joining the Greek forward will reportedly be Georgios Vagiannidis rather than, again, a move to Craven Cottage. The Panathinaikos pair are impressive in their own right, but it’s Ioannidis who stands out the most.

Whether Fulham attempt a last-gasp hijack to sign the forward will be something to keep an eye on, especially if they qualify for European Football in the coming weeks.

Dubbed “complete” by analyst Ben Mattinson, the Greek forward would be an ideal option to replace 33-year-old Raul Jimenez, who is unlikely to be at the peak of his powers for much longer.

After scoring 11 goals in all competitions this season, the interest in Ioannidis should come as no surprise.
