Fulham close to signing Nathaniel Chalobah from Watford

Fulham are close to signing Nathaniel Chalobah before tonight’s deadline, according to reports from Sky Sports.

Talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage. The 26-year-old defensive midfielder is likely to join on a permanent move, but an initial loan has still not been completely ruled out.

Chalobah joined Watford in 2017 from Chelsea on a permanent deal. He previously played for the Hornets in 2012-13 on loan from the Blues.

He has made over 80 appearances for the club, but it seems his time at Vicarage Road is coming to an end.
