Report: Fulham plotting season-long loan for Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis

According to The Sun, Fulham want to bring Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis to Craven Cottage on a season-long loan this summer. Manager Scott Parker wants to strengthen his options in the middle of the park and is keen on the Portuguese. AC Milan are also interested in the services on Luis, but Fulham want to include a £27 million option to buy clause in the loan deal. The 21-year-old is also on the radar of a number of other top European clubs despite playing just 21 games for Benfica’s first-team. Parker wants to ensure that his side hold on to their Premier League status at the end of the campaign, and Fulham have been making some smart moves in the summer transfer window.
