Fluminense midfielder Andre is reportedly set to join Fulham ‘in the coming days’ with Marco Silva’s side set to secure the signature of one of South America’s most sought-after stars.

Liverpool have been linked with in-demand star Andre recently, and an approach was anticipated in January.

Arsenal, among other outfits, pushed to sign the 22-year-old over the summer but Fluminense pushed back all approaches, insisting that they would only entertain bids In January once the Copa Libertadores had concluded.



As a result, the interest in Andre was expected to make for one of the most significant sagas of the upcoming window given the sheer number of interested outfits.

However, according to Canal do Nicola, Fulham have stolen a march on their rivals as Andre could join the club ‘in the coming days’ after he has returned from international duty with Brazil.

Silva’s side are ‘big favourites’ to land the midfielder and have already placed a £26.2million bid for his services in the hope of striking a deal before other clubs emerge with more lucrative offers.

Fluminense are ‘pleased’ with the bid and Andre has given his seal of approval, with it claimed that he ‘likes the project’.

At this stage, Andre is therefore expected to join the Londoners, though a significant offer from elsewhere could throw a spanner into the works.
