Fulham are now targeting Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi this summer and Mauricio Pochettino's side are open to selling him, according to reports.
Who will Fulham sign this summer?
In the past week, Whites transfer rumours have been seriously hotting up, both in terms of potential departures and signings for Marco Silva.
Fulham enjoyed a successful first full campaign back in the Premier League after being promoted from the Championship, comfortably avoiding relegation and finished mid-table.
While they couldn't quite do enough to seal European football for next season, the foundations to build are there, and it is believed the west Londoners are looking at strengthening a variety of positions.
Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse, Japan international Ao Tanaka, Coventry City's Viktor Gyokeres, Fenerbache defender Ferdi Kadioglu and Roma centre-back Roger Ibanez have all been linked in the past 10 days.
Meanwhile, it is believed top flight rivals are eyeing moves for star Fulham players Joao Palhinha and Antonee Robinson, with Leicester City also apparently looking to steal away club captain Tom Cairney.
If these rumours come to fruition, it could well be a busy summer at Craven Cottage, with news emerging of another target on their radar.
Hudson-Odoi, who spent last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, is apparently being targeted by Fulham.
That is according to The Guardian and reliable journalist Jacob Steinberg, who claims Fulham, Milan and Nottingham Forest have registered interest in the £120,000-per-week forward.
Chelsea are prepared to sell Hudson-Odoi, and could do so for just £15 million, with the winger looking likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
He's out of contract next year, and with just 12 months remaining on his current deal, Fulham could offer him the chance to remain in west London.
Hudson-Odoi has offers from the Middle East, though it is thought his preference is to remain in Europe at this stage.
What's been said about Hudson-Odoi?
Frank Lampard once tipped the 22-year-old for stardom at Chelsea, calling him an "incredible" player back in 2019 whilst claiming he could be "huge" for the Blues.
Fast forward to now, and that hasn't quite worked out, but Lampard isn't the only person to have seriously endorsed the winger.
FourFourTwo writer Mark White, taking to Twitter just last year, called Hudson-Odoi a "special" player and drew particular attention to his "unbelievable vision" and "sheer mentality".
Given he is available for just £15m, and Fulham are in need of forward depth, he could be a prudent option.
