Some Fulham fans on Twitter are keen to sign reported midfield target Harry Arter from Bournemouth.

Fulham are reportedly tracking Bournemouth midfielder Harry Arter and some of their fans on Twitter believe he could be a useful signing for the club.

According to the Mirror on its live blog (12:19am, 27 July), the Premier League new boys are prepared to make a move for the 28-year-old this summer.

The report adds that the Republic of Ireland international is desperate to leave Bournemouth after slipping down the pecking order last season.

It is understood that Fulham’s first-team coach Scott Parker has recommended Arter, who is his brother-in-law.

Bournemouth are prepared to cash in on the creator this summer to allow a move for Jefferson Lerma, according to the Mirror in their live blog (10:07pm, 18 July).

Slavisa Jokanovic’s side are preparing for life back in the top flight after their promotion via the play-offs last season, and have already made serious improvements to the squad with signings Jean Michael Seri, Fabri, Maxime Le Marchand and Andre Schurrle.

Arter is a player that is proven at Premier League level and a technically gifted central midfield who is good with both feet.

His quality in possession would very much tie into Fulham’s attacking style of play and could be a shrewd signing if he moves to Craven Cottage.
