The right-back for Southampton, Kyle Walker-Peters, is now being looked at by Fulham as a potential replacement for their top target, who was recently identified in a fresh report.

Who are Fulham signing this summer?

Before the transfer window closes on September 1st, Marco Silva is focusing on adding some fresh options at full-back. According to Football Insider, the manager is eager to add a new player on either side because he wants to have competition for spots.

Currently, Kenny Tete has been playing on the right and Antonee Robinson is the Cottagers’ first-choice option on the left. However, a new acquisition might change that, and several prospective options have been mentioned on either side, including Timothy Castagne of Leicester City.

The Belgian right-back, who has fallen out of favor under Enzo Maresca, has already entered negotiations with the Foxes, while Fulham is also in active negotiations to sign AS Monaco’s Ismail Jakobs, who plays on the opposite wing.

According to a recent article from The Evening Standard, many candidates have been shortlisted, with Castagne taking precedence over Josip Juranovic of Union Berlin, Fode Ballo-Toure of AC Milan, and Arthur Theate of Rennes.

The 26-year-old might be Fulham’s man if they want to add an expansive full-back who can pose a danger in the attacking third. He is an excellent ball dribbler and ranks in the 92nd percentile for successful take-ons over the past year.

Despite the Saints’ eventual relegation from the Premier League last season, former manager Ruben Selles praised the £23k per week defender, saying:

“Kyle is a phenomenal player, in my opinion.

“We greatly value his positional expertise as well as his comprehension of the game system we use. In the Premier League during the past four to five years, Kyle has excelled.

With 115 games in the top division, the London-born full-back has established himself, as Selles noted, making him a more solid alternative for Silva than taking a chance on a player from abroad.

The two-time England international, who former Southampton manager Ralph Hassenhuttl has compared to Germany veteran Philipp Lahm, might be a good signing for Fulham and may be eager to return to the top division right away, so this is one to watch.
