Standard Sport understands that Chukwueze is set to sign on loan, with an option to buy set at between £22-26m.

The 26-year-old, who started just nine games for AC Milan last season, is due to undergo a medical later today.

Fulham have been in the market for a winger all summer and hold a longstanding interest in Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson.

Marco Silva wants to bring in two new wingers before the transfer deadline, with academy graduate Martial Godo set to complete a move to Strasbourg.

Godo completed a medical with the Ligue 1 side on Sunday ahead of a £6m move.

Fulham have endured a difficult summer, having so far only managed to bring in backup goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, but they are expected to be busy before the deadline, with deals for Kevin and Chukwueze close to completion.

Having focused on contract renewals for much of the summer, Fulham have now stepped up their efforts to bring players in before tonight’s deadline.
