Newcastle United’s Jonjo Shelvey and West Ham United’s Pedro Obiang are reportedly on the radar of Fulham.

Fulham are interested in signing Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri wants to swap Tom Cairney for 26-year-old midfielder Shelvey.

The report has also claimed that Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez is an admirer of Fulham midfielder Cairney.

According to The Sun, if Fulham are unable to convince Newcastle to part company with Shelvey, then they could look at West Ham United midfielder Pedro Obiang in a swap deal involving Cairney.

West Ham might reportedly be willing to recruit Cairney in the January transfer window.

Exit likely?

Cairney has fallen down the pecking order at Fulham and is struggling for playing time at the London club at the moment.

The 27-year-old Scotland international has made 10 starts and four substitutes appearances in the Premier League for the Cottagers so far this season, according to WhoScored.

It would make sense for Cairney to find a new club in the January transfer window if he is unable to feature regularly at Fulham under manager Ranieri.
