Sun Aug 31 11:30:00 UTC 2025: **Fulham Poised for Record-Breaking Double Swoop Before Transfer Deadline**

**London, UK** – Fulham Football Club is on the verge of a dramatic double signing before the transfer window slams shut on Monday, ESPN sources reveal. The Cottagers have reportedly agreed a fee with Shakhtar Donetsk for Brazilian winger Kevin, a deal that could shatter their existing club record. Simultaneously, they are pursuing a loan move for AC Milan’s Nigerian international, Samuel Chukwueze.

The agreement with Shakhtar for Kevin is understood to be in excess of £34.6 million ($46.7m) including bonuses, surpassing the £34 million they spent on Emile Smith Rowe earlier this year. While personal terms are still being finalized, there is strong optimism from both clubs that the transfer will be completed. Kevin, who previously represented Brazil at under-20 level and joined Shakhtar in 2024 from Palmeiras, is expected to arrive in London imminently to finalize the deal.

In addition to Kevin, Fulham are also targeting Chukwueze. After productive talks last week, a renewed push is underway to secure the winger on loan from AC Milan. The proposed deal would include an obligation to make the move permanent if certain performance-based criteria are met. Chukwueze joined AC Milan in 2023 from Villarreal and has won 46 caps for Nigeria.

This potential double swoop would represent a significant injection of talent into Marco Silva’s squad, which has seen limited activity so far this summer. Goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte is their only signing and they’ve seen departures of Andreas Pereira and Carlos Vinícius.
