Fulham Advancing In Deal For Bakwa

Fulham are in advanced talks for the signing of Dilane Bakwa from French club Strasbourg, as per Pete O'Rourke. They are looking to beat interest from Premier League rivals in their efforts to sign the talented winger before the transfer window slams shut on Monday.

With Nottingham Forest also vying for the 22-year-old's signature, Fulham will be determined to get a deal over the line for the Frenchman in the coming days as they look to bolster their squad.

A Good Fit

Bakwa's profile of a young and dynamic winger, with proven experience in one of Europe's top leagues, will no doubt excite fans. An ever-present threat for Strasbourg, Bakwa has racked up 69 appearances since his move from Bordeaux in 2023.

Adding 14 goal contributions in both of his seasons at Strasbourg, Bakwa's ability to both score and provide goals would be a welcome addition at Craven Cottage, and with Fulham finishing 11th last time out in the Premier League, Marco Silva will be on the look out for personnel who can help make that next step for European football.

Rosenior's Plans

Strasbourg have started the season strongly, winning their opening two Ligue 1 fixtures away at Metz and at home to Nantes. Building on a positive finish to last season, the French side look to be making strides with Rosenior at the helm.

Amidst the interest from the Premier League, Bakwa has been utilised primarily off the bench in the French club's first three competitive fixtures this season. Despite Bakwa registering two assists this season, Rosenior's team selection indicates that a move for Bakwa is only a matter of time.
