Terminating Timothy Fosu-Mensah’s loan to make room for Gary Cahill is great business for Fulham
Reports from on Thursday claimed Fulham had terminated the loan of Timothy Fosu-Mensah in order to make room for ℱthe arrival of Chelsea defender Gary♔ Cahill.
The alleged move is great business for Fulham, as the Ma🔜nchester United loanee failed to impress, paving the way for the addition of a much-needed experienced centre-half at Craven♈ Cottage.
Fosu-Mensah came to SW6 with an impressive reputation as a promising youngster, but 🌌his defending at right back was haphazard at best.
Often quick to over-commit to cꦍhallenges and dive in with rash tackles, the Dutchman struggled to establish himself as a consistent starter. Particular low points included a penalty conceded against Bournemouth and a listless display at Huddersfield that was compounded by an own goal.
To essentially swap an erratic 21-year-old right back for a 33-year-old Premier League-winning centre-back i♋s a clear upgrade for Clဣaudio Ranieri.
༒Cahill is undeniably rusty after featuring sparsely this campaign f🌞or Chelsea, yet once he returns to full fitness, he will represent Fulham’s best defensive option by far — even at his advanced age.
Despite t𒐪he recent encouraging performances of Tim Ream and Denis Odoi, the pair are simply not top-flight defenders, and the injury to Alfie Mawson has exacerbated their shortcomings.
If Fulham aspire to stay in the Premie🐠r League, an overhaul of their defence is requ🦹ired, and the loan addition of Gary Cahill in the place of Timothy Fosu-Mensah is an excellent move.
