Turkish Super Lig leaders Basaksehir are reportedly hoping to keep Joseph Attamah, with Premier League strugglers Fulham interested.

Fulham have returned with an improved bid to sign Istanbul Basaksehir defender Joseph Attamah, according to Football Ghana.

The Mail reported a fortnight ago that the Cottagers had contacted the 24-year-old ahead of a potential move to West London. However, Fulham’s offer was understood to have been turned down, with Basaksehir desperate to keep Attamah until the end of the season.

Considering they are three points clear at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table and have a first ever league title in their sights, it is no wonder they are against selling any of their players.

But Football Ghana believe that Fulham have not given up just yet. Claudio Ranieri’s relegation threatened side are understood to have returned with an improved bid, though it is not known how much they are willing to pay.

Attamah, who has played four times for his country, is renowned for his ball-playing style, his excellent passing range and his confidence in possession.

In truth, any centre-back would be a welcome addition for a Fulham side who have conceded the most goals in the Premier League this season.
