Fulham want Milan defender Musacchio, Mirror say

The stories in Monday’s newspapers involving the area’s clubs…

Fulham are weighing up a January move for AC Milan defender Mateo Musacchio, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Mirror say Whites boss Slavisa Jokanovic believes he needs to bring in another central defender during the next transfer window.

Fulham have conceded 21 Premier League goals since Jokanovic led them back to the top flight and summer signings Alfie Mawson and Calum Chambers are yet to make an impression.

Musacchio was previously linked with a move to Fulham and the Mirror claim the club will go back in for him.

The newspaper recently reported that Jokanovic is under pressure following poor results and that the club’s hierarchy want him to tighten up defensively.

The Mirror have also picked up on reports in Italy suggesting that Tiemoue Bakayoko could return to Chelsea sooner than expected.

The midfielder has failed to impress since joining AC Milan on a season-long loan and it is claimed that the Serie A club could send him back.

Reports claim Bakayoko will be given the next few games to prove he is worth persisting with.
