Fulham already have a fearsome attack and surely they’d be Championship title favourites if Bobby Reid arrived from Cardiff City.

Fulham are the favourites to sign Bobby Reid after he spent just one season at Cardiff City, according to The Sun (live blog, 12pm).

The Cottagers already have arguably the most fearsome forward line anywhere in the Championship with Tom Cairney, Anthony Knockaert and Aleksandar Mitrovic likely to strike fear into the heart of second-tier defences up and down the country.

And just imagine if they added Reid to the mix.

The diminutive forward scored 19 times in his most recent Championship campaign, starring for Bristol City in 2017/18 to seal a £10 million move to Cardiff (BBC).

Goals were harder to come by in the Premier League, however, with Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds relegated at the first time of asking. But the 26-year-old still showcased his ability to be in the right place at the right time in and around the penalty area, notching five times in the top flight.

Sky (10.38am) claims that Bristol City are keen to bring their local lad made good back to Ashton Gate but Fulham are currently his most likely destination.

Now, The Cottagers drew a blank in their season opening on Saturday, a shock 1-0 loss at Barnsley. But with a strike force of Reid and Mitrovic, don’t expect Scott Parker’s side to struggle for goals in the next few months.
