Fulham are reportedly interested in bringing Neil Etheridge back to South-West London, according to Wales Online.

It is suggested that Fulham approached the Bluebirds with a bid approaching £10 million last week, but was rejected.

Aston Villa are also eyeing the shot-stopper, but WalesOnline add that their £8m was also rejected.

Etheridge spent eight years at Fulham in total from 2016-2014. He came through the academy but failed to make an appearance, and instead was loaned out four times.

He is valued at £3.6m by transfermarkt, but the fact that he has two years remaining on his contract means that Cardiff are not in a position where they have to sell.

The Philippines international received high praises for many of his performances last season, which included three penalty saves.

Here, our writers evaluate whether this would be a good signing for Fulham:

Jacob Potter

"This would be a brilliant signing.

"Etheridge is a player that could arguably be playing in the Premier League, and this would be a real coup for Fulham if they pulled it off.

"He was a rare bright-spark in a disappointing season for Cardiff last season, and I would be surprised to see him sign for Parker's side."

Toby Wilding

"This would be a good signing for Fulham.

"While Sergi Rico can produce spectacular saves at times, he can also be partial to the odd blunder, something that has cost Fulham on occasions this season.

"Etheridge is an all-round more reliable 'keeper, and would be a step up from Fulham's number one choice, although their relegation to the Championship suggests this could be a difficult deal for them to pull off."

Kealan Hughes

"This would be a sharp move from Fulham.

"Last season their 'keepers struggled for form at different parts of the season, whilst Etheridge put in performance after performance consistently for Cardiff.

"If he doesn't cost too much, he would be the perfect antidote for a defence which was shambolic last season. Getting a composed goalkeeper in should remedy that right away.
