Liverpool Star Emerges As A Transfer Target For Premier League Strugglers
Liverpool defender Joel Matip has emerged as a transfer target for fellow Premier League side Fulham ahead of the next transfer window scheduled to start in January.
The Cameroonian international centre-back has struggled for playing time at Liverpool in the new campaign thus leading to transfer rumours about his long-term future at the club.
According to a specific report from popular English media outlet TalkSport, new Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri is keen on a move for the 27-year-old.
2015/16 Premier League title-winning manager with Leicester City was appointed the new Cottagers boss on Wednesday morning after he replaced Slavisa Jokanovic.
The coach was sacked after he masterminded the West London side’s disastrous start to the season which saw the team record five points only from the first twelve league games of the new campaign.
Fulham recorded a sixth straight league loss on Sunday under his watch via the 2-0 defeat away to Liverpool.
The Liverpool game proved to be his final in charge of Fulham.
New manager Claudio Ranieri is keen to solve the Cottagers’ defensive issues.
He has identified Joel Matip as the man to bring stability to the Fulham defence that has conceded whopping 31 goals in 12 Premier League games.
