Fulham are eyeing a move for Aberdeen 'rising star' Lewis Pirie alongside fellow Premier League side Leeds United, according to reports.

The Lowdown: Silva off to solid start...

The Cottagers are off to a solid start as they seek to maintain their place in England's top flight, coming after manager Marco Silva guided his side to promotion last term.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has also built upon his phenomenal goalscoring Championship form over 2021/2022 by netting six goals in six league games so far this season.

Fulham currently sit mid-table with two wins, two losses and two draws as club officials watch on and determine how best to keep on improving Silva's side in the coming seasons.

The Latest: Fulham eye Pirie move...

Indeed, the Craven Cottage club could be looking at potential stars of the future who may one day gift Fulham with real quality.

According to The Daily Record, Aberdeen's attacking sensation Pirie is on their radar as club officials travelled north to run the rule over him during a recent Scotland under-16s bout against Denmark.

The teenage prospect is apparently wanted by Fulham and top-flight rivals Leeds, with Aberdeen braced for a 'fight' to keep their 'rising star'.

The Verdict: Make the move...

Beating Leeds to Pirie, who is seen as a top talent going by The Daily Record's report, would be a small statement of intent as Fulham aim to grow their standing within the top flight.

After battling back into the top flight, Fulham's next goal is to stay there for years to come and look towards cementing themselves as Premier League regulars.

The best teams are often looking to bolster their academies with some of Britain's brightest young talents, and Pirie is someone who could fit the bill in west London.
