Fulham are interested in signing the Genoa defender Johan Vasquez at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old Mexican International has done quite well for the Italian club, and he has been a key player for them this season. According to Give Me Sport, Fulham have expressed interest in signing the player and they will face competition from London rival Brentford.
Both clubs could use defensive reinforcements, and Vasquez will be a quality addition for them. The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers and he has the ability to succeed in the Premier league. He has shown his quality in Italy and he could be attracted to the idea of moving to English football now. The player will want to try out a new challenge at this stage of his career and could be an attractive destination.
According to Give Me Sport, the defender could cost in excess of £17 million, and it is fair to assume that Fulham certainly have the resources to get the deal done. They have looked vulnerable at the back this season and they need to improve in that area of the pitch if they want to finish high up the table. It remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official offer for the Genoa defender.
Brentford keen on Vasquez
Brentford need defensive reinforcements as well, and they have the resources to pay £17 million for the defender. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the player to join the club in the summer. Vasquez will want to join a competitive team and remains to be seen where he ends up. Both clubs could be interesting opportunities for him.
The player has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in England and he will look to establish himself as a player for Brentford or Fulham if he joins them. He will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League and make an instant impact.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
