# Fulham should add further to their squad and sign this £8.1m-rated Championship winger

**Fulham will be hoping to make a real fist of things on their return to Premier League football, with manager Slavisa Jokanovic undoubtedly having confident in his young squad to compete at the highest level.**

Big money signings such as Aleksandar Mitrovic and Jean-Michael Seri have added quality to a strong core that already contained the likes of Tom Cairney and Ryan Sessegnon, and the Cottagers just might surprise a few people if things can get off to a good start.

Last season saw the Craven Cottage witness some of the best football on display in the Championship, and that same principle will no doubt be a key element of this season’s campaign. However, we at the Transfer Tavern think adding a few more names to the ranks could well go a long way for Jokanovic and co.

Indeed, one player think would be a superb signing if West Bromwich Albion winger Matty Phillips, who is still a Baggies player despite seeing his side drop into the Championship.

However, t[he £8.1m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matt-phillips/profil/spieler/77274) speedster is regarded by many as too good for the second tier, and it would come of no surprise if someone like Fulham was to make a bid for the winger. Phillips can be a class act on his day and has the ability to change a game with his dribbling, speed of foot, and finishing, and he would be a useful addition who would no doubt fit in in seamlessly with how Fulham play.

Phillips is a quality act, and if Fulham want strength in depth, he could well be the perfect signing.
