With Fulham starting to make a move in the Championship, it’s time to appreciate just how good Sone Aluko is.
Fulham have a tendency to possess great players without people taking notice for a good while, and that is the case once again with Sone Aluko. The 27-year-old has been a revelation since arriving at Craven Cottage on a free transfer, and it is obvious that the forward has a point to prove.
Having been bounced from club to club for years now, Aluko knows that time is running out when it comes to making a claim for a move to the Premier League. Fulham do not seem to quite have the credentials necessary to make that extra step up to the top flight, so the former Hull City man needs to carve his own path.
With four goals and four assists already this season, he is off to a solid start. While they are not exactly groundbreaking numbers, it is Aluko’s overall contributions and skill on the ball that make him such a commodity.
In a division where so many players have suffered the pain of being undervalued and not appreciated, Aluko is slowly starting to climb the rankings in terms of finally being recognised for the fantastic talent he is.
