Fulham interested in Pepi

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reveals Fulham are considering approaching PSV for the striker, nicknamed ‘El Tren'. Further, it is understood that more clubs are expected to join the race for the USMNT striker, who notched 18 goals for the Boeren during the 2024/25 season. Whispers Rating: 3.5/5

Fulham snub bid for Muniz
With the possible signing of Pepi, Marco Silva wants to add more firepower to his attacking line. As such, it is going to be very difficult for any club to convince Fulham to part ways with their in-form forward.
According to Standard, newly-promoted Leeds United made a £26million bid, with a further £6million in add-ons, for Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz. However, the London-based outfit have turned down their considerable proposal even though the 24-year-old is set to enter the final 12 months of his contract. Whispers Rating: 3/5
