Three signings Fulham should make in January

Fulham chairman Shahid Khan has m𒈔ade it clear he will back Claudio Ranieri in the January transfer window, with the Whites needing new faces in order to lift themselves from the foot of the league ta🐠ble.

Here are three signings Fulham should mak🌜e in the winter transfer window.

Danny Drinkwater

A lack of✨ solidity in the centre of midfield has been a major reason Fulham have conceded an exorbitant amount of goals to date, and a tenacious player such as Danny Drinkwater would be an excellent choice toﷺ shore up the Whites’ midfield.

Ranieri has a strong connꦫection with Drinkwater from their time at Leicester City, when the Italian turned the midfielder into a title-winning force.

Now exile💜d at Chelsea, a move down Fulham Road to Craven Cottage would be༒ a smart switch for Danny Drinkwater in January.

Gary Cahill

Another Chelsea reject, Cahill has barely featured forꦜ the Blues all season, and must be furious with Maurizio Sarri’s lack of faith in him.

The England international can stiꦕll defend resolutely at the highest level and would be a massive upgrade on Fulham’s current options at the back.

A strong, authoritative presence in the heart of defence like Gary Cahill could turn around the ♛leaky Fulham backline in 2019.

Nathaniel Clyne

Fulham’s defence needs to be strengthened next 🔴month, and the right back position is one area that has been particularly suspect fo⛄r the Whites.

Denis Odoi, Ti🅷mothy Fosu-Mensah, and Cyrus Chrsitie have all been stationed there with little success, opening the door for Nathaniel Clyne to arrive on loan in January.

Manchester United loanee Fosu-Mensah has been exiled froꦗm the squad under Claudio Ranieri, indicati𒈔ng he is set to be sent back to Old Trafford and for another defender to arrive on loan.

Fulham 🅘must make it a priority to ensure Clyne is that player, as the Premier League-savvy defender offers pace, experience, and a꧋ggression in defence.
