Fulham are exploring a move for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean as they look to stave off the threat of relegation.
Manager Marco Silva wanted better forward options last summer and the need remains with Rodrigo Muniz coming back cautiously from a hamstring injury, Samuel Chukwueze soon to be away for Afcon duty and Raul Jimenez, at 34, being carefully managed through a busy fixture period.
Fulham's hierarchy want to bolster Silva's armoury as he looks to head off a looming relegation battle.
They are still four points clear of West Ham, who are third from bottom, but know how easy it is to be dragged into a fight for survival as the games come thick and fast.
