Fulham were hoping to sign 25-year-old winger Silas Katompa Mvumpa from VfB Stuttgart during the winter transfer window.
A report from German journalist Dennis Bayer has claimed that Fulham have failed with the move for 25-year-old VfB Stuttgart winger Silas Katompa Mvumpa, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to other targets.
Silas Katompa Mvumpa on the Rise
Silas Katompa Mvumpa has done quite well for the Bundesliga club this season, scoring five goals and picking up four assists across all competitions. The 25-year-old mostly operates as a right-sided winger, but he can slot in as a centre forward as well.
The DR Congo international would have improved Fulham going forward. So, it is hardly surprising that the Cottagers tabled a bid to sign him. Missing out on him will come as a blow for the London club.
Fulham need to improve their attacking options before the transfer window closes. They have been linked with a number of attackers in the last few days. But they have not managed to bring in the right additions so far. It will be interesting to see if they can pull off an impressive acquisition on deadline day.
Fulham are currently pushing for a finish in the top half, and they will need to improve their squad. Signing a quality attacker could make a big difference for them. They have done reasonably well in recent months, but they have struggled to score goals consistently. Adding more quality in the final third could take them to a whole new level.
Meanwhile, a move to the Premier League would have been an exciting opportunity for Silas Katompa Mvumpa, and he would have fancied his chances of doing well in English football. However, the two clubs have not been able to secure an agreement, and the winger will now continue in the Bundesliga until the end of the season.
Fulham have put together an impressive squad over the past year. But they need to plug a few gaps if they want to finish the season strongly. They could easily finish in the top half and push for European qualification with a couple of quality additions.
