Fulham head into the Premier League with their tails up after a hugely successful season in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Lilywhites really were a cut above the rest of the league in 2021/22, with them scoring goals for fun and brushing a number of teams aside with ease.

The challenge for Fulham, though, is to get to a point in the Premier League where they are established in the top-flight once more, after seasons of bouncing between the two divisions.

With that said, then, the summer transfer window is hugely important to Marco Silva and his recruitment team, and it remains to be seen who they target in the market to try and improve their squad.

Could they be interested in dipping into the free agent market, then? We've taken a look at eight players whose contracts are coming to a close that might be worth considering for the upcoming window...

Jed Wallace has been a brilliant attacking force for Millwall over the years but he is set to leave the Lions and there's surely no shortage of clubs interested in bringing him in this summer.

Would he be ready for a Premier League chance with Fulham? You'd certainly say he's capable of at least getting in amongst the squad and showing his quality, and a player like him on a free is certainly worth considering at least.

Tom Lawrence is a player that, unfortunately for Derby County - his current club - that is way too good to be playing in Sky Bet League One next season.

Lawrence deserves plenty of credit for the work that he did this season in trying to keep the Rams up but ultimately the points deduction was too much to overhaul.

He's perhaps another player on a free that Fulham might be wise to consider adding to their attacking options.

Fabian Delph's time at Everton looks to be coming to an end but he is a player that is still good enough to be playing in the Premier League for the right side if it comes calling.

He has top experience from his time at Manchester City as well as the Blues, and is a player that can play in a number of roles, though primarily in midfield.

Fulham have some good midfielders already but Delph has that extra level of PL knowhow they could do with adding.

Pascal Gross is another quality midfielder that still has plenty to offer at Premier League level, even if he leaves his current club; Brighton and Hove Albion.

Gross has massive quality on the ball and the chances he can make from midfield for Fulham's attacking stars like Aleksandar Mitrovic would actually be quite an exciting prospect.

He's a player that has a wealth of Premier League experience now and one that knows how to unlock defences which could be crucial in Fulham's bid to earn points next season.

Ryan Fredericks is another player who has lots of decent Premier League experience now, and could bring that to Fulham.

He's a player that obviously knows the club well having played for them before and it'd be interesting to see how some fans might receive any return he makes, whilst Fulham obviously have a good option at right-back in Kenny Tete.

Neco Williams may not return and so there is room for another right-sided full-back to come into the squad - perhaps Fredericks could come back from West Ham.

Matej Vydra is a player that has been used largely as a sub for Burnley this season in the Premier League but he is still someone that has it in him to try and change a game with the quality he has.

He is going to miss the rest of this season with injury and so may not be able to help Burnley stay up this season in the Premier League, so it remains to be seen what happens to him in the summer.

He may well be open to a free move to Fulham if it was on offer, with the Cottagers certainly needing to add more attacking options to supplement Aleksandar Mitrovic.

James Tomkins is an experienced defender who knows the Premier League very well, and his time at Crystal Palace is coming to an end by the look of things.

He's played for West Ham as well as the Eagles and so he seems more than content to be playing for a London-based club, which would obviously lend itself to any move to Fulham.

The Whites have some good defenders but perhaps some more top-flight experience to add to their options in the defensive third wouldn't go amiss heading back into the Premier League.

Martin Kelly fits the bill similarly to Tomkins.

He is a physically imposing defender and has lots of experience in the Premier League, too, having played for Crystal Palace and Liverpool during his time in the top flight.

He, like Tomkins, is seeing his contract at Palace coming to an end and it looks as though the Eagles are looking at other options other than Kelly for the future.

He still has plenty to offer at Premier League level, though, and again provides an extra level of defensive knowhow at the top level to the squad if he joins.
