Fulham keeping tabs on 32-year-old ahead of potential summer transfer approach

Championship outfit Fulham are thought to be monitoring Watford midfielder Moussa Sissoko as they weigh up a potential move for the Frenchman during the summer window, according to Jeunes Footeux.

The 32-year-old has been one of the first names on the teamsheet for the Hornets this term, recording 32 Premier League appearances but has failed to keep them afloat in the division with their relegation being confirmed earlier this month.

The Cottagers, on the other hand, are set to replace them next season after being crowned champions of the second tier and Marco Silva is all but certain to have a larger transfer budget at his disposal because of that.

Even with their promotion, it looks as though Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa will be exiting Craven Cottage on a permanent basis in the coming months with his current loan side Napoli preparing to recruit him for the long term.

Although he has spent the vast majority of the campaign in Italy, the Cameroonian’s departure may still leave a void in the west London side’s squad and Silva may want to move for a replacement to provide more competition and give his side the best possible opportunity of remaining afloat at the top level.

Sissoko could be the man to replace him with the Cottagers thought to be monitoring his situation, though they may have to fork out a fee for his services with his contract at Vicarage Road not expiring until 2023.

Jeunes Footeux also believe a return to France is a potential option at this stage too, though Silva’s side may be in pole position to win his signature if he wants to remain in England.

The Verdict:

Considering the 32-year-old was playing for Tottenham Hotspur not so long ago, he certainly has the pedigree to make the Cottagers a top-tier
