In an unexpected change of events, Fulham is interested in signing Leicester City’s Timothy Castagne. The transfer window, which closes on September 1st, is heating up, and the Cottagers have made their intentions known.
Marco Silva’s esteem
The rumors around Craven Cottage say that Fulham manager Marco Silva holds Castagne in high regard. The 27-year-old Belgian international endured a difficult season at Leicester, seeing the club’s surprise relegation from the Premier League.
Defensive Reinforcements on the Horizon
Recent revelations indicate Fulham’s strategy to bolster their defence. Following the significant departure of Aleksandar Mitrovic, the club is on the lookout for full-backs on both flanks. Castagne, with his prowess, is emerging as the top contender for the right-back position. Simultaneously, Silva is scouting for a worthy competitor to challenge the US international, Antonee Robinson, on the left.
Tete’s Uncertain Future
Kenny Tete, the Dutch international with 14 caps, has been Fulham’s go-to right-back. His contributions last season, including a goal and five assists in 36 outings, were commendable. However, with just a year left on his Craven Cottage contract, his future remains uncertain.
Castagne’s Leicester Saga
Despite his absence from Leicester’s starting XI this season, Castagne’s previous term was notable. Joining the Foxes in 2020, he recorded two goals and four assists in 42 matches. His commitment to Leicester is evident, with a contract extending till June 2025. Yet, the recent relegation has put several Leicester stars, including Castagne, in the spotlight.
Leicester Stars in Demand
It’s not just Castagne drawing attention post-Leicester’s relegation. Ligue 1’s Monaco is reportedly showing interest in striker Patson Daka. Additionally, Kelechi Iheanacho’s name is buzzing, with both Premier League and Saudi Pro League clubs expressing interest.
