A few days ago Fulham just brought in striker Raul Jimenez from Wolves, now they have added strength to their troops in defense and they have succeeded in bringing in Calvin Bassey from Ajax. At a cost of 22.5 million euros, it seems that Fulham have got one of the young players who can become the foundation for next season's back line affairs. The duration of his contract is up to 2027 and it has been confirmed that Fulham has placed him as part of a long-term contract. Last season he had quite brilliant statistics by appearing 39 times in all competitions and also recording 1 goal and 5 assists. I think Fulham will be even better next season and they definitely aim to finish in a better position in the table every season.
I think Fulham are actually having a great summer with their signings, the acquisition of Jimenez is spot on considering the fact that Mitrovic is set to leave the London club. Another great business again is the fact that they actually pinned Willian to a new contract, his impact was immense last season and it was logical to actually have him for the future. But their current worry should be how to chase away suitors from Paulinha. With the growing number of top clubs searching for a proper Defensive Midfielders, I think we wouldn’t wait for long before Clubs knock on the door for him.
Now to Calvin Bassey, this signing is actually a hard one to find the right word to use for. His move to Ajax last summer actually didn’t worked well, getting a straight red card 15 minutes into your debut just spearheaded a very awful season in the Dutch league guy for him. He was the scapegoat by most of the fans there so leaving the environment should be a new breath of air for him. As for Fulham they would be hopeful he repeat his great performances last time he was in Britain with Rangers. His excellent performance took them to the Europa league finals and also to the Scottish league title hopeful the Nigerian can repeat such feat again.
There is a very wise saying that is said where I live, and it is: "He who chooses a lot, stays with the worst", I would not have many illusions with Madrid, I would go blind with a team like Man City, I know that I make a good duo with Haaland, they will hardly beat us, an Mbappé + Haaland would be an explosive duo and with very few opportunities for the other teams to beat them, I would not doubt it if it were Mbappé, he wants to go to MADRID, but he doesn't take hints, they say they're not going to pay for him, that they want him for free, so I don't understand why he keeps insisting, in Madrid they don't give him the importance he thinks he has.
I wouldn’t say Madrid aren’t giving much importance, Madrid seriously need Mbappe and there could be an already agreed deal on ground. If we look Madrid has actually left the number 9 Jersey on ground something that hardly ever happens which indicates a new forward is set to arrive. One thing I feel is Madrid do not want to push the deal as it would make PSG to demand more in fees but they might be leaving this deal to probably the last of the transfer window so as to get him on a bargain. Also Madrid could be reluctant now just because of what Mbappe did last summer when he betrayed them.
