Opinion: Fulham should consider summer transfer swoop for Championship midfielder with 15 goal contributions

Fulham’s return to the Premier League – barring a collapse in form of epic proportions – will more than likely be confirmed in the coming weeks as the Championship season nears its climax.

Despite the odd poor result, the Cottagers have been irresistible for most of the campaign and have scored goals left, right and centre on their way to a likely promotion.

When that is confirmed, then work can begin on constructing a squad that is able to remain in the Premier League for at least one season, because the last two times the London outfit have been in the top flight they’ve come crashing straight back down.

Fulham don’t necessarily have to splash out millions upon millions on new talent either – even though they probably will do – and there are bargains to be had that can improve their squad.

There are a few players in the Championship this season that could very well be ready to make that step up to the top flight for the first time, and Jed Wallace of Millwall fits into that category.

The 28-year-old has been a loyal servant to the Lions after his arrival in 2017 from Wolves, and has lit up The Den in recent years with his wonder strikes and performances.
