Transfer News Brought to you by @FulhamTransfer

Confirmed Transfers In

No new incomings this week after Fulham confirmed the signings of Joachim Andersen and Sander Berge last week.

Confirmed Transfers Out

Terry Ablade has joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on a season-long loan, subject to Scottish FA approval and international clearance. The 22-year-old forward spent last season on loan at Carlisle United where he made 16 appearances across all competitions.

Transfer Rumours

Incoming

Marco Silva made moves by bringing Joachim Andersen and Sander Berge to Fulham last week and has come out and said he's searching for a wide attacking player.

Bearing that in mind, Fulham have been linked with and had a bid accepted for Rayan Cherki. The French youngster is still weighing up his options but his club will want his transfer to be finalised sooner rather than later. Fulham have also been linked with Reiss Nelson of Arsenal, Marcus Edwards of Sporting and Will Gnonto of Leeds. All these players have the similar ability to be able to dazzle at the best of times and would make exciting additions to Marco Silva's side.

Finally, the links to André seem to be cooling right off as it appears he is linked elsewhere and after Fulham secured the deal for Sander Berge this is no longer and area of concern. Don't rule anything out though as we know the Khan's love a last minute deal!

Outgoing

Carlos Vinicius and Kevin Mbabu are both still expected to leave before the transfer window closes. Although there's no concrete links at this stage, I don't think we'll see these players making the final Fulham squad for the upcoming season. Finally, Andreas Pereira was surprisingly linked with a move to Nottingham Forest this week. It's not out of the question that Forest would be able to find the money but Forest doesn't seem like the kind of club that AP would want to move to and doesn't quite match the ambition that Fulham have this season. If a reasonable bid did come in for Pereira, it is possible Fulham would consider it and this could potentially reopen talks for a player like André.
