Lys Mousset has scored just two Premier League goals for Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth so could he really keep Fulham up?
It is not only in defence where Fulham need to strengthen in the January transfer window.
The Cottagers have scored just 16 Premier League goals all season, less than a goal a game on average, with Alexsandar Mitrovic and Andre Schurrle contributing 12 of those. So it is no surprise that manager Claudio Ranieri is already planning for reinforcements.
But, according to the West London Sport, Fulham are eyeing a rather risky move for a striker who has scored just three times in 43 Premier League matches – the Bournemouth bench-warmer Lys Mousset.
A £5.4 million signing from Le Havre in 2016, Mousset has never really established himself at the Vitality Stadium despite the fact that Cherries manager Eddie Howe clearly has high hopes for him.
With Callum Wilson in the form of his life, the Frenchman has been limited to nine substitute appearances since the start of the 2018/19 campaign.
As a result, West London Sport believes that Fulham could offer him a fresh start at Craven Cottage, with a centre-half and a right-back also understood to be on Ranieri’s wish list.
