Fulham are closing in on a decision over Nigerian forward Philip Otele as the Premier League side continues its late push in the summer transfer market – www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to Soccernet.ng, club scouts will carefully assess Otele during Basel’s UEFA Champions League qualifier against FC Copenhagen before making their move.
The winger has been one of Basel’s brightest players, combining speed, dribbling skill, and sharp finishing that has attracted attention from across Europe.
Transfers expert Ben Jacobs explained, “Fulham want to see how he handles this game before making a final call on a transfer.”
If Otele delivers another strong performance, Fulham could accelerate negotiations before the window shuts in just four days.
The 26-year-old was born in Port Harcourt but grew up in Europe, where he began his career with Kauno Zalgiris in Lithuania back in 2019.
His journey has taken him through clubs like UTA Arad, CFR Cluj, and Al Wehda before joining Basel, where he has become a consistent attacking threat.
Though Otele has yet to play for Nigeria or any domestic side, his form continues to make him a potential future option for the Super Eagles.
