Fulham have added Basel Nigerian winger Philip Otele to their list of options as manager Marco Silva looks to strengthen his options before the window closes.
According to GIVEMESPORT Otele is available for under €15m. The Cottagers had representatives present in Switzerland on Tuesday for his current employers’ 1-1 Champions League qualifier draw with Copenhagen and are now deciding whether to place an offer.
The 26-year-old is also on the radar of Eintracht Frankfurt, with the German side considering whether to place a bid.
Otele – described as ‘incredible’ by former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu – joined Basel from United Arab Emirates side Al-Wahda following a loan spell in which he scored nine Swiss Super League goals in 18 games.
If the move materialise Otele will join Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey.
Fulham are open to adding two attackers between now and the end of the window, even if Atalanta and Leeds United target Rodrigo Muniz stays.

Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin has been a top target for much of the summer, but price remains an issue. Shakhtar are seeking close to €60m.
Fulham have also been working on Arsenal’s Reiss Nelson, and have even considered teammate Leandro Trossard. The Belgium winger has now signed a new contract at the Emirates Stadium with improved terms, but remains contracted until 2027.
Raheem Sterling is another name of interest to Fulham, but likely only on a loan, with Chelsea prioritising a permanent exit as it stands.

Thank you Mr writer for using the word “bid”..you even added formal in one of them which is very good because some illiterates here like that Demented rodent that claim to have PhD but don’t know the difference between when a club just show verbal interest or enquiry through phone calls and when a bid is formally and officially summited…. lmao…..
Thank you once again cos he might just come here and start jumping for joy that Fulham sent representative to watch his country man with any formal bid… lmao
See mad monkey…..alway full of animosity and negative spirit.
Hahahahha…..now I know why Western nations always force some of you to go take English tests before they grant you entry visas into their countries…….LMAOOooo.
So if Fulham did not want Otele, they would show interest (whether verbal or written)
If Fulham did not want Otele, they would make enquiries about him……LMAOooo
If Fulham did not want Otele, they would add him to their list of options, send reps all the way to Suisse to go and watch him and even consider placing an offer…….LMAOooo.
Shebi Otele is the only football player in the Swiss league……..LMAOoooo….as a matter of fact he is the only African player in Europe.
I am sure that with all that Fulham has done so far, it shows, according to an imbecile like you, that Fulham does not want him……LMAOooo…..the same way you have be lying to yourself that no big club WANTED Osimhen……..LMAOooo
To an illiterate like you, not submitting a formal bid means clubs do not want you. It seems no club also wanted Messi all that time he was at his peak in Barcelona.
Common sense is indeed not common.
Your own lies are beginning to catch up with you…….LMAOooo
Street dog is beginning to contradict himself. He has been beaten black and blue and is beginning to suffer brain haemorrhage…..LMAOoooo
Once again;
De Laurentis has spoken.
Fabrizio Romano has spoken.
A FIFA-licensed agent has also spoken.
Kindly let us know when you are able to prove they were all lying…………LMAOooooo
As e dey sweet us, e dey pain am. As e dey pain am, e dey sweet us.
May this pain you are feeling follow you to your grave……LMAOooo.
Philip Otele is far better than most Super Eagles prospects. Heaven bless him.
