Fulham are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Lille winger Edon Zhegrova on transfer deadline day.

Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Lille winger Edon Zhegrova on transfer deadline day.

The Cottagers have made several additions to their squad this summer, having recruited Jorge Cuenca, Joachim Andersen, Emile Smith Rowe, Sander Berge and Ryan Sessegnon.

However, they are still keen to bring in reinforcements before the transfer deadline, with Marco Silva looking to add a winger to his squad.

Fulham have been left light on numbers in wide areas following the departures of Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Willian earlier this summer.

As it stands, Silva can only call upon Alex Iwobi, Harry Wilson and Adama Traore as his main three wide options.

Fulham eyeing Zhegrova move

According to Football Insider, Fulham are exploring the possibility of bolstering Silva's wide options with the addition of Zhegrova.

The report claims that Fulham are long-term admirer of Zhegrova and are weighing up whether to make a late move to secure his signature.

However, there is a belief that it would take a 'substantial fee' to persuade Lille to consider sanctioning Zhegrova's departure.

It remains to be seen whether the 25-year-old would be open to a departure after helping Lille reach the Champions League main draw.

The Kosovo international scored three goals in four qualifying appearances, including a goal in Wednesday's playoff second-leg meeting with Slavia Prague.
