Football rumours: Fulham close to signing Manor Solomon as Fabio Carvalho replacement

Fulham are close to sealing a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk winger Manor Solomon, according to the Daily Mail. The 22-year-old is sought after as a replacement for 19-year-old Fabio Carvalho, who will move to Liverpool.

Donetsk are reportedly asking for a £7 million fee.

Tottenham are confident of signing the in-demand Sam Johnstone in the summer, writes one national outlet. The 29-year-old goalkeeper is out of contract at West Brom at the end of this season and has also been chased by Southampton.

The same paper reports that Flamengo have withdrawn their offer to sign Manchester United’s Andreas Pereira. The Brazilian team were reportedly ready to bid £9m for the 26-year-old but had a change of heart due to his underwhelming performance recently and banking issues.
