Fulham have triggered extension clauses in the contracts of Neeskens Kebano and Tim Ream.
Fulham are one again going to be a Premier League side next season, confirming promotion a couple of weeks ago, and wrapping up the Championship title last week.
Marco Silva’s side have broken the record for most goals ever scored in the second tier season, netting 106 goals.
Impressive performances have come from all around the pitch for the Cottagers in what has been an incredible season.
Two players who have had their part to play include Kebano and Ream, making a combined 86 appearances between both of them.
The news will come as a positive to Fulham fans, who now know that they have secured the long-term future of two key players at the club ahead of their Premier League rollercoaster next season.
It could may well be another campaign where we see the Cottagers underperform in the top tier, but with the right recruitment, Silva it may finally be their time to remain in the division.
If they are to be relegated again, questions will be asked, as it’s happened to often in recent seasons.
People may argue that this is the best Fulham team in recent years, and that may play a part in their fight for survival in the new Premier League campaign.
Fulham FC Statement - Geoff Pruce
The Club can confirm that the contracts of Tim Ream and Neeskens Kebano will now both run until the summer of 2023.
Their deals had been due to expire this June, but a clause was activated that ties them to Fulham for a further 12 months.
Both were instrumental in the Club winning the Sky Bet Championship this season, with Ream starting every one of our 46 league matches, while Kebano contributed a career best nine goals and seven assists.
Speaking after their stays were extended, Tony Khan said: “Tim Ream and Neeskens Kebano have been instrumental in our promotion this season, playing every game they’ve been involved in with passion and professionalism.
“We have exercised the option to extend both of their contracts for a further year, and we are all happy that they will be part of the squad next season. Come on Fulham!”
