Fulham are set to sign Ivan Cavaleiro from Wolves, reports The Telegraph's John Percy.

The move would see the winger join on a season-long loan with an option in place to make the move permanent should The Cottagers wish to.

The Portuguese player has been in-demand for much of the summer, with Huddersfield previously linked, but it seems Fulham have won the race to sign him.

Cavaleiro struggled for game time last season, making just 23 Premier League appearances, only six of which were starts.

The 25-year-old really impressed in his last spell in the Championship. His pace and direct style turned Wolves into a real attacking force after his £7m move from Monaco, and he played a big role in Wolves' 2018 title win.

He scored nine goals and made 12 assists that season, and Fulham will hope he can contribute in a similar fashion in order to help them to promotion.

The Verdict

This is an astute signing from Fulham and their attacking options suddenly look a lot more threatening. Cavaleiro's pace will be a great weapon this season and his ability to take on defenders should prove invaluable.

He is a great player to have when playing counter-attacking football too, so in those big matches away from home he could really be the decisive factor, and those matches are ultimately what decide promotion.

Cavaleiro knows the division too and he will be raring to go after a frustrating season mostly spent on the sidelines. If he can channel that energy into performances then he should be one to look out for this season.
