Fulham closing in on Ademola Lookman loan deal with RB Leipzig set to sign Alexander Sorloth

Fulham are closing in on a move to bring forward Ademola Lookman back to the Premier League.

Scott Parker is keen to add some depth to his squad out wide and through the middle as Fulham battle to beat relegation this season.

The Cottagers have lost both of their opening games, but are nearing a loan deal with RB Leipzig to bring former Charlton and Everton forward Lookman back to English football.

Leipzig themselves are set to sign Crystal Palace striker Alexander Sorloth, meaning Lookman will fall further down the pecking order in Germany.

Parker is also keen to bolster his defence after shipping seven goals in their opening two games of the season.

The west Londoners have added at full-back, recruiting Antonee Robinson, Ola Aina and Kenny Tete. However the Fulham boss is desperate to add a central defender before the window is out.

With that in mind, Fulham have been linked with a move for Sassuolo's Marlon Santos.
