Fulham will reportedly look to seal a late move for 26-year-old Girona winger Viktor Tsygankov, with the Catalan outfit demanding around €30 million to part ways with him.
According to a report by AS, as relayed by Sport Witness, Viktor Tsygankov is the subject of interest from Fulham. The Cottagers are keen on signing a wide attacker before the summer transfer window shuts down. Meanwhile, Girona will demand around €30 million to part ways with the 26-year-old winger.
The rise of Viktor Tsygankov
Viktor Tsygankov has been among the best wingers in La Liga since joining Girona from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023. He went under the radar during his formative years and the early part of his career. However, he has taken to the Spanish top flight like a fish to water.
The 26-year-old was instrumental in Girona clinching a top-four finish in La Liga, contributing to 15 goals in 30 league outings by finding the back of the net eight times and providing seven assists. Meanwhile, Tsygankov’s progress at Estadi Montilivi has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Widespread reports have linked the Ukrainian international with European bigwigs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona. However, those clubs have cooled their interest in securing Viktor Tsygankov’s services, with Fulham emerging as the newest club in the race to land his signature.
London calling?
Fulham’s interest in Viktor Tsygankov is understandable. The Cottagers have parted ways with Willian this summer, while Alex Iwobi is the only reliable wide attacker at the West London outfit. So, it behoves Fulham to invest in a top-quality winger, with the Girona forward emerging as a viable target for the club.
The report does not mention an impending bid, but Fulham must move quickly to secure Viktor Tsygankov’s signature, considering the summer transfer window closes in less than a week. Meanwhile, the 26-year-old will not come cheap, with Girona demanding around €30 million to part ways with him in the coming days.
It is unclear if Fulham will be open to coughing up €30 million to secure Viktor Tsygankov’s services in the summer transfer window. For now, the Ukrainian international has emerged as a viable target after his exploits in La Liga for Girona.
