Fulham in talks to sign Kevin Mbabu after agreeing provisional fee with Wolfsburg
Fulham are in talks to sign Wolfsburg defender Kevin Mbabu, The Athletic understands.
The Switzerland international is now negotiating personal terms with the west London club after Fulham and Wolfsburg provisionally agreed a fee worth €5.5 million and a further €2.2 million in add-ons.
Fulham have previously had two bids rejected for Mbabu, who qualifies as a homegrown player.
The 27-year-old right-back previously played in the Premier League for Newcastle United, making three appearances during the 2015-16 season.
He spent four years in total on Tyneside, having joined the club as a 17-year-old in 2013 from Swiss Super League side Servette.
He left Newcastle for Young Boys in 2017, and then joined Wolfsburg ahead of the 2019-20 season.
He made 24 Bundesliga appearances last season and has been capped 22 times by Switzerland.
Fulham head coach Marco Silva is hopeful of adding as many as 10 new additions to his squad this summer, including a new right-back.
