Manager says that Leicester and Fulham will move for £30 million, saying talks are “final.”
Time is running out for Premier League clubs who still believe they need to fill roster vacancies, with only one week left in the transfer window. In addition to signing Ryan Sessegnon, Jorge Cuenca, and Emile Smith Rowe, Fulham also finalized a £25 million deal for Burnley midfielder Sander Berge.
Tosin Adarabioyo left for Chelsea, a local rival, but Marco Silva’s team still appears to be lacking options on the right side of their defense. Conversely, Leicester City is having trouble on the other side of the field. Monday’s match against Tottenham Hotspur saw Jamie Vardy start and score, but it’s not ideal to depend on a 37-year-old when Paston Daka is sidelined with a long-term injury and Kelechi Iheanacho is out. It seems like Fulham and Leicester have discovered a solution to their respective issues at Selhurst Park.

Despite having a strong preseason, Jordan Ayew will join Oliver Skipp as Leicester’s second acquisition of the week for a reported £8 million, according to the Daily Mail. Additionally, Eagles manager Oliver Glasner has stated that neither Andersen nor Ayew will be in the squad for Crystal Palace’s London derby against West Ham United on Saturday as negotiations to transfer away continue.
