Bryan Dabo failed to make an appearance during a loan spell at Blackburn Rovers but can he save Fulham from Premier League relegation.
Fulham fans won’t want reminding that their side have the worst defensive record in the Premier League right now, a miserable statistic summed up by as a pair of calamitous own-goals condemned them to a 2-1 defeat to Burnley last time out.
But, according to the Sun, manager Claudio Ranieri has now identified the tough-tackling defensive midfielder Bryan Dabo as the man capable of adding some steel to his error-prone side.
The 26-year-old Burkina Faso international has been playing for Fiorentina since signing from St Etienne last year but he has struggled to make much of an impression at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Dabo has made just seven Serie A appearances with all of those coming off the bench. And, according to The Sun, Fiorentina are willing to listen to offers and could allow the Marseille-born midfielder to leave on loan.
Dabo was linked with a move to Bundesliga strugglers Hannover earlier in January, as reported by Kicker, but he has unfinished business in English football, having failed to play a single game during a loan spell at Blackburn Rovers in 2014.
