Fulham will reportedly look to sign 23-year-old USMNT international Ricardo Pepi from PSV Eindhoven in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Ricardo Pepi remains the subject of interest from Fulham. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window. So, the 23-year-old PSV Eindhoven centre-forward remains a target for the West London outfit.
Fulham came close to signing the American striker from PSV on the deadline day of the winter transfer window before the deal collapsed in the final hours. However, the Cottagers have revived talks to secure Pepi’s services, and they are confident of landing their top striker target this summer.
How has Ricardo Pepi fared at PSV Eindhoven?
Ricardo Pepi has established himself as one of the most reliable attackers in the Eredivisie since joining PSV Eindhoven from FC Augsburg in July 2023. The 23-year-old has made considerable progress in the last two and a half years, with his exploits also helping him become a regular for the USMNT.
The USMNT international has been solid thus far in the 2025/26 season, scoring 11 goals and providing two assists in 22 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Pepi’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Fulham will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
London calling?
Ricardo Pepi has been on Fulham’s wishlist for a long time, and they were keen on securing his services in the winter transfer window. The continued interest makes sense, as the Cottagers have been combing the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. Raul Jimenez is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of his career. Additionally, Rodrigo Muniz has struggled with fitness issues in the 2025/26 season.
So, Fulham entered the winter transfer window wanting to sign a striker, with Pepi emerging as a top target. While the West London club came close to securing the American attacker’s services in the winter transfer window, they have revived talks with PSV Eindhoven in the hopes of sealing a summer deal.
The Eredivisie champions will continue to demand around £30 million to sell Pepi to Fulham. Meanwhile, the Cottagers are optimistic about signing the 23-year-old USMNT international in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the player.
