Fulham are interested in acquiring the services of Fiorentina forward Moise Kean as they look to reinforce their attack mid-season.
Moise Kean might not be in the best of form this season, but there is still no shortage of interest in him. The Italian international could end up securing a return to the Premier League, as Fulham are keen on signing the former Everton star.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Marco Silva is keen on reuniting with the 25-year-old, as he looks to reinforce his attack at Fulham in the upcoming winter transfer window. While it seems to be a high-risk, high-reward gamble, the Cottagers seem willing to try their luck.
Silva was the one who signed Kean at Everton back in 2019 from Juventus. While they had massive expectations from the young striker, he failed to live up to them. After failing to establish himself at the Merseyside club and struggling to make the most out of his loan spells, he returned to the Old Lady in the summer of 2023.
A year later, he ended up joining Fiorentina in a deal worth around €13 million. Kean had an exceptional debut campaign as he bagged 25 goals and three assists in his 44 outings across competitions. 19 of those goals came in the Italian top flight.
His sensational performances did attract a lot of attention. However, the 25-year-old has failed to replicate similar performances this time around, with just three goals in 18 outings. While he recently penned a new deal that runs until 2029, Kean seems open to a move away from the club.
Fulham plot a raid on Fiorentina
He is interested in making a return to the Premier League, as he hopes to make it to Italy’s squad for the World Cup. With Fiorentina struggling, a move to a club like Fulham can certainly appeal to the young striker.
Meanwhile, Marco Silva seems to be the major force behind the Cottagers’ pursuit of the 25-year-old. While things didn’t work out for Kean under him at Everton, Silva feels he could finally click in the English top flight.
The London club are considering making an offer for him once the transfer window reopens. They lack firepower in the final third and Kean with his pace and finishing can certainly help their cause. However, Fiorentina value him at around €50 million, which could certainly complicate negotiations.
