Marco Silva has been quiet in the transfer market and is seemingly content with his current squad which came 11th in the Premier League last season and reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Fulham could lose some key players in the window like Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz, but neither have so far departed the club.

The West London side though are set to lose Traore, who will link up with his former boss Nuno Espirito Santo at Nottingham Forest.

Santo has lost winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle and also wants to add depth to his attacking options ahead of the club’s return to European football.

Nelson spent last season on loan at Fulham and now looks set to join on a permanent deal with the Gunners stacked with attacking options.

Agreeing a deal for free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin would boost Silva’s options, but if Fulham want to gatecrash the European places then the club needs to get the cheque book out.

Another deal with Arsenal could be close for Oleksandr Zinchenko which would show European ambition, whilst Raheem Sterling could also join from Chelsea.

It looks like another season of mid-table mediocrity if Fulham do not increase their transfer activity.
