Malik Tillman has been linked with a summer move away from Bayer Leverkusen, with Premier League clubs Fulham and Bournemouth interested in signing him.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Malik Tillman is the subject of interest from Bournemouth. The Cherries are scouring the market for a versatile attacker and have set their sights on the Bayer Leverkusen star. However, they will face stiff competition from Fulham for his signature.
The 23-year-old United States international has done quite well since joining the German club, and he has eight goals to his name this season. He can operate in the attacking midfield or central midfield role. He could prove to be a very useful acquisition for both English clubs.
Fulham need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. They need someone who can create opportunities for the attacking players and regularly find the back of the net. The 23-year-old could be ideal for them. He has the technical attributes for English football and the physicality to adapt to the Premier League as well.
Tillman is a young player who could improve with coaching and experience. He has all the attributes to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder. The player cost the German club €35 million, and they could demand a premium for him. It remains to be seen whether the London outfit is prepared to break the Bank for him.

On the other hand, the Cherries are also interested in signing the player. The United States International could be an excellent addition for them in the final third. They have recently sanctioned Antoine Semenyo’s departure and need more goals and creativity in the final third.
It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done in the coming months. The asking price would have to be reasonable in order for the move to go through. The opportunity to move to England could be exciting for the United States international.
Fulham and Bournemouth are solid mid-table teams in the Premier League, and both have ambitious projects. They will be hoping to push for a place in the top half next season, and they need to bring in quality players.
