Silas Katompa Mvumpa TURNS DOWN Fulham loan deal after Marco Silva's side had targeted the Stuttgart striker... as Cottagers continue to be frustrated in pursuit for attacking reinforcements

Stuttgart striker Silas Katompa Mvumpa looks to have turned down a proposed loan move to Fulham.

Fulham had made an approach to sign the versatile forward earlier on deadline day as they continue to look for attacking reinforcements.

The DR Congo international can play as a right winger and as a striker and has scored five goals in all competitions this season.

Silas joined the Bundesliga outfit in the summer of 2019 for around £7million from French second division side Paris FC and has made 120 appearances, scoring 33 goals.

The 25-year-old is currently still on Africa Cup of Nations duty with DR Congo after they beat Egypt on penalties to reach the quarter-finals.
