Fulham are reportedly keen on Ozan Tufan this summer.
According to a report by Turkish Football, Fulham have joined Crystal Palace in the race to sign Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan this summer and have made an enquiry for the player.
The same report claims the Turkish side are willing to sell the 39-capped international, although it appears Fulham have heavy competition for his signature.
The Cottagers will be looking to seriously bolster their squad this summer after winning promotion to the Premier League via a 1-0 Championship play-off final victory over Aston Villa.
Fulham relied on several loan players to get them over the line last term, including Aleksandar Mitrovic, Matt Targett, Oliver Norwood and Lucas Piazon, therefore right now they look short on options.
The west London club will be hopeful of Premier League survival should they make the necessary additions this summer, and Tufan could make a big contribution in that midfield area.
The 23-year-old is predominantly a holding midfielder, but he is also versatile and can play further forward, offering a goal threat as he notched three goals and provided two assists in 14 starts last term.
He could come in and seriously bolster Fulham’s midfield options, arguably improving on defensive midfielder Kevin McDonald while also competing with Tom Cairney and Norwegian ace Stefan Johansen.
Fulham need to make a move this summer in order to start pre-season with their squad very much in place, otherwise they are in danger of playing catch-up from the off with a tough start to the campaign.
