Fulham are reportedly set to sign Bordeaux striker Diego Rolan.
According to The Mirror, Fulham are set to tie up a £3million deal to sign Bordeaux’s Uruguayan striker Diego Rolan.
The Cottagers missed out on promotion to the Premier League having been beaten by Reading in the Champioship play-offs in May, and manager Slavisa Jokanovic will be hoping to boost his squad with new signings this summer.
Uruguay’s Diego Rolan
Chris Martin has returned to Derby Couny following a loan spell at Craven Cottage, as has Cyriac Gohi Bi to Oostende after a poor loan stint, meaning that at least one new striker has to be a priority for boss Jokanovic.
Now, The Mirror report that Fulham are closing in on a deal to sign Bordeaux attacker Diego Rolan – and they would only be paying £3million to land his signature.
Rolan, 24, joined Bordeaux from Defensor Sporting in his native Uruguay back in 2013, and he has been a strong contributor in front of goal for the Ligue 1 side ever since.
With 37 goals in his last three seasons, Rolan has scored consistently in all competitions, whilst he has also found the net four times in 23 appearances on the international stage for Uruguay.

A pacey, skilful and versatile attacker, Rolan could be a smart addition for Fulham, especially given that he is allegedly close to joining the Cottagers in a deal worth a bargain £3million.
Last summer, SportItalia’s Alfredo Pedulla reported that Everton were told to pay €20million (£17.35million), but with Rolan now having just one year left on his contract, Fulham may just be on the verge of a cut-price deal.
