Fulham are closing in on a club record 34.6m move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin. The 22-year-old Brazilian predominantly plays on the left and has scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 57 matches for the Ukrainian side. The fee would surpass the club's previous record of 27m for Emile Smith Rowe. Manager Marco Silva welcomed the reinforcement after criticising the summer window as passive, when only goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte was added. Fulham are still linked with additional attackers including Raheem Sterling and Philip Otele while having two points from three Premier League games, sitting 16th.
Fulham are closing in on a club record 34.6m move for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin. The move for the 22-year-old Brazilian is expected to surpass the club's current transfer record - the initial 27m they paid to sign attacker Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal last summer. Kevin predominantly plays on the left wing and has scored 17 goals and provided 10 assists in 57 matches for the Ukrainian side.
His signing would be a boost for Fulham boss Marco Silva, who previously complained about the club's slow pace in the transfer market. Silva said the Cottagers had been "passive" in the summer window, having only added French goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte from Montpellier. Fulham are still believed to be in the market for an additional attacker and have expressed an interest in Chelsea's Raheem Sterling and Basel's Philip Otele.
