Fulham eyeing up double Liverpool summer transfer raid

Fulham are lining up an audacious summer transfer swoop for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez if they win promotion to the Premier League – as well as a fresh move for on-loan Neco Williams – per reporter Graeme Bailey.

The Cottagers are 14 points clear of Huddersfield Town in third place in the Championship with a game in hand, and barring an epic collapse in form between now and the end of the season it looks like the west Londoners will be a top flight side once more.

And when they do make it back there they are planning on making a move for Gomez, who has found himself out of favour at Anfield this season under Jurgen Klopp.

Ibrahima Konate’s summer arrival has seen 24-year-old Gomez pushed into fourth choice, and the England international has appeared just 14 times in all competitions this season.

Fulham face a fight on their hands though if they are to bring Gomez back to the capital, as per Bailey, the likes of Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle and West Ham are all also keen.

Marco Silva’s side also want to bring Williams back to Craven Cottage for a full season, with the Wales international impressing since his deadline day arrival in January on loan.

Williams has scored twice and provided two assists in his eight games for Fulham so far and Bailey believes that there is a strong chance that the 20-year-old will be back at the Cottagers next season on loan.

The Verdict

Williams returning to Fulham next season makes a lot of sense – he’s behind Trent Alexander-Arnold in the pecking order at Anfield and he won’t be getting ahead of him anytime soon.

Premier League football will be his prerogative though and he’s proving right now he deserves that chance and has linked up well down the right flank with Harry Wilson.
