Wolves will let Ben Marshall leave in January and Championship rivals Fulham have tried to sign the winger in the past.
Newcastle United and Norwich City might have joined Fulham at the top of the Championship goalscoring charts last season but Slavisa Jokanovic’s side were out on their own when it came to entertainment.
This season, however, Fulham have not been the prolific, free-flowing thespians they were in 2016/17. The Cottagers have won just four of their 11 Championship games and have scored just 15 goals – a tally bettered by ten other clubs in the second tier.
This is despite the fact they managed to keep hold of the likes of Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon in the summer. Therefore, perhaps the natural solution is to give the squad a boost via an extra injection of quality.
The Mail reported in August of 2016 that Fulham were interested in Blackburn Rovers winger Ben Marshall and were willing to pay around £2.5 million. Flash forward to the present day and the attacker could be on the move with The Sun (8th October, page 61) reporting that current club Wolves will let him leave on loan.
Marshall only arrived at Molinuex in January but Wolves have spent big reinforcing their attack, meaning the 26-year-old has only started one league game all season. The report adds that there is plenty of Championship interest and it would be no surprise if Fulham were at the front of the queue.
After all, Jokanovic’s side look the perfect fit for a dynamic and creative player capable of moments of real genius and unpredictability.
Fulham made excellent use of the loan market last season, landing Chris Martin on a temporary deal from Derby County. And they could repeat the trick in January.
