Fulham will be hoping for better times under Claudio Ranieri as they struggled to ensure any kind of consistency during Slavisa Jokanovic’s reign.
The Cottagers got off to perfect start under Ranieri today as they secured a 3-2 victory over Southampton at Craven Cottage. And, it appears as if the Italian is eyeing a potential addition, as according to the Daily Mail, Fulham are ready to make a fresh bid for Dedryck Boyata in January.
Fulham are preparing a new push to sign defender Dedryck Boyata from Celtic in January.
The Belgian international is in the final year of his Parkhead contract and could leave for free next summer.
It’s thought that the Cottagers had a £9 million bid for Boyata rejected in August, but they remain interested in signing the 27-year-old for a lower fee in the next transfer window.
Claudio Ranieri will be keen to bring in his own set of players to the club in January, with Boyata being a must having witnessed their defensive performances this season.
THE VERDICT:
The Belgian is a special talent that deserves a move to the Premier League having impressed over the past year.
Sadly, the Cottager just haven’t been able to ensure defensive solidity in the current campaign as they continue to lean towards relegation back to the Championship, so bringing in Boyata could will definitely help their cause.
Ranieri made a number of iconic signings during his time at the King Power Stadium and got the very best out of a number of players, so Fulham supporters will be hoping he has the same affect on their club.
