Fulham fans think Aston Villa-linked André-Frank Zambo Anguissa will be heading for the exit door after he was left out of their matchday squad on Sunday.
Marco Silva opted to leave the 25-year-old out of the squad that recorded a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough in their Championship opener yesterday.
On paper, Anguissa is one of Fulham’s best players, so with no injury news, and just transfer speculation, it’s pretty obvious what is staring the club in the face.
Recent reports did suggest that Aston Villa were one of a number of clubs keen to add his midfield talents to their side this summer after he was relegated last term.
Fulham fans feel they have seen the last of Anguissa, who was a popular figure during his time at Craven Cottage.
Given the reaction from their supporters, it’s obvious that whoever signs him up this summer will have a top-quality player on their hands.
Dean Smith needs to probably add one more midfielder to his ranks and someone with a defensive mind is needed.
A player who can bulldoze his way through a midfield and use his brute strength to bully attackers.
Anguissa has those qualities in his locker and his presence in the middle of the park would complement what Villa already have to pick from.
Villa have super-rich owners as it is, so added with the sale of Jack Grealish, it makes their life easier to bring in targets who they want.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Fulham fans reacting to the call on Anguissa yesterday:
