Stade Raymond Kopa, Angers, France - January 16, 2021, Paris St Germain's Layvin Kurzawa celebrates scoring.
Fulham have made Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa their ‘priority target’ this summer, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
The Lowdown: Fulham open Kurzawa negotiations
The Frenchman has two years remaining on his deal at the Parc des Princes, but has reportedly been told that he is free to leave in the coming weeks after falling out of favour since the arrival of new manager Christophe Galtier.
The Daily Mail credited the Cottagers with an interest in the 29-year-old on Tuesday, stating that Marco Silva’s side are in talks regarding a potential move, and it appears that they are serious about bringing him to the Premier League.
The Latest: Fulham make Kurzawa ‘priority’
Taking to Twitter, Romano revealed that both Fulham and Silva are ‘keen’ on completing the signing of Kurzawa, with discussions for Justin Kluivert also developing.
“Fulham want to sign Layvin Kurzawa as priority target as new left back. Marco Silva also keen on signing the French LB from PSG.
“Negotiations progressing also on Justin Kluivert deal with AS Roma.”
The Verdict: Cover needed
Joe Bryan fractured his hand prior to the start of the new season, leaving Antonee Robinson as the only senior player available in that left-back position, so Fulham have got to prioritise this deal for Kurzawa.
The 13-cap international, who once dubbed himself ‘crazy’, has provided 23 assists and netted 14 goals during his spell at PSG, via Transfermarkt, showing that he is more than capable of turning it on when given the chance to perform.
Should Fulham sign Kurzawa?
Yes
No
The Cottagers are unbeaten so far this top-flight campaign having one won and drawn two, and these impressive results and encouraging signs could play a huge role in Kurzawa deciding where his next destination will be.
