Fulham missed out on signing AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze in the winter market.
Calciomercato explain why Marco Silva’s side weren’t able to secure his services.
The right winger has scored four goals and registered an assist from 25 matches this season. The report states his performances haven’t been convincing and the Serie A club made him available in the market.
Fulham and West Ham United were keen on him, with the Hammers first to register interest on Monday morning. Marco Silva’s side approach was ‘much more concrete’ and was made later.
The report states Fulham were ‘serious’ about the 25-year-old. The operation was always going to be complicated since they didn’t have enough time to close the transfer as the window closed on Monday.
Calciomercato add negotiations between the two clubs were complicated due to lack of sufficient time. Therefore, Fulham failed to sign the Nigeria international on deadline day.
Milan want to offload the attacker and hope to find him a club where the market is still open. Chukuwueze is of interest to Turkish clubs [window closes on February 11th] and the Rossoneri are hoping to receive offers.
