Fulham are reportedly interested in signing 22-year-old USMNT international Ricardo Pepi from PSV Eindhoven in the winter transfer window.
According to a report from Dutch outlet Eindhovens Dagblad, Fulham are prepared to submit an offer to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on their interest in Ricardo Pepi with an official proposal in the coming weeks.
Pepi has 12 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be a very useful acquisition for the London club. The Cottagers need more quality and depth in the attacking unit. They have been overly dependent on Rodrigo Muniz.
Ricardo Pepi prove to be an excellent acquisition for them. The West London outfit are prepared to submit an offer of around €30-35 million to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops when Fulham further their interest.
Pepi could be tempted to join
PSV might not be too keen on losing an important player like Ricardo Pepi in the middle of the season, but a lucrative proposal would be hard to turn down. The player is likely to be attracted to the idea of moving to the Premier League as well. It would be a huge step up in his career and he would get to test himself at a higher level.
The 22-year-old is entering the years of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Moving to Fulham could help him improve further. Regular football in England could bring out the best in the player.
Meanwhile, the West London club will look to secure a respectable finish in the Premier League table. They need to improve the team during the January transfer window. Adding a couple of quality players could make a huge difference for them in the final third.
Fulham have looked mediocre going forward at this season. Signing our quality striker could help them perform at a high-level. Pepi has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well. He will certainly hope that the two clubs can agree on a deal so that he can finalise a dream move to England this time around.
