Fulham line up £20m Yunus Musah transfer as they look to beat AC Milan to World Cup and ex-England U18 star

FULHAM are bidding to land United States midfield dynamo Yunus Musah from Valencia in a £20million deal.

Cottagers boss Marco Silva has money to spend and hard-running Musah is top of his wish-list — with the Spanish side willing to sell.

AC Milan are looking into a deal with the 20-year-old but insiders have revealed Fulham are “all over” the transfer and hope to pull off a coup.

New York-born Musah has 24 caps plus European experience, so he is ideal for Fulham as they look to build on a good campaign.

Musah will be sold to the highest bidder and, despite Milan trying hard to get him, they have yet to reach the asking price.

The lure of Serie A is big for the player and the possibility of also having fellow American Christian Pulisic joining him there, too.

But Fulham think that the chance to come to the Premier League and London is even more attractive.

Their need may increase if a huge bid comes in for star man Joao Palhinha and they are left with a hole to fill.

Fulham also plan to sign up another US international, with a new contract in the pipeline for 25-year-old left-back Antonee Robinson.

The defender has attracted interest from Manchester City.

But he is now settled in London and could be willing to commit beyond next summer if the terms are right.

Fulham plan to push the boat out and keep one of their prized assets.

Silva led the West London side to a 10th place finish in the Premier League last season.
