Here, we take some time to weigh up this move in detail for Fulham as they eye the 25-year-old.

Is it a good potential move?

This move would certainly have it’s positives. Fulgini is a player who is well into his prime and is thriving at a very good level in the French top flight at present.

Add to the fact that he can play in numerous midfield roles and it is fair to say that he ticks a lot of boxes for what Marco Silva wants from his players.

The financial side of the deal is slightly questionable however, especially as it would be a lot of money to spend during the middle of the season.

Fulham therefore could be tempted to look at cheaper alternatives after splashing the cash so frequently over the summer.

Would he start?

This is something that would certainly be up for debate, particularly given the embarrassment of attacking and midfield options that Fulham have at their disposal.

Assuming that Fabio Carvalho departs in the new year, Fulgini would be an almost like for like replacement for the youngster.

In addition to this he can also play up top as a false nine and as a deeper lying central midfielder, so he certainly has the ability to adapt to various positions in order to claim a starting spot.

However as seen in the case of Rodrigo Muniz at Craven Cottage, it is easier said than done when attempting to break into the starting eleven under Silva.

What does he offer?

Fulgini offers a mix of flair and creativity that would definitely be well suited to the way that Fulham are playing their football this season.

He would also provide another attacking alternative to that of the usual starting eleven, thus allowing the likes of Aleksander Mitrovic and Bobby Reid to be rested on the odd occasion.

The Frenchman is also a player that has played at a higher level than the Championship and would surely be signing that would be made with promotion in mind.

Although slightly on the more costly side, this deal does have the potential to further enhance the club’s promotion credentials moving forwards.
