Fulham have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Leicester City and Belgium full-back Timothy Castagne.

The 27-year-old is one of several players who could still depart the King Power Stadium following the Foxes' relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season.

Castagne's contract with Leicester still has another two years left to run, but he is not expected to be short of offers this summer and could be open to a Premier League return.

According to The Athletic, Fulham are keen to bring the former Atalanta BC man to Craven Cottage, and Castagne's versatility on both sides of the backline makes him an attractive proposition for manager Marco Silva.

The report adds that no teams have entered advanced talks over a deal for the Belgium international yet, and Leicester boss Enzo Maresca has not given up hope of keeping Castagne at the King Power.

Castagne has five goals and eight assists to show from 112 appearances in a Leicester shirt, and he has played in their opening two pre-season friendlies against Peterborough United and Northampton Town.

From a defender joining Fulham to one potentially packing their bags, Monaco have apparently joined the race to sign centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo.

The former Manchester City academy starlet has gone from strength to strength since joining the Cottagers in 2020, playing an integral role in their return to the Premier League two seasons ago.

Adarabioyo struggled for starts at times during the 2022-23 season - appearing as an unused substitute in 13 Premier League games - but he contributed one goal from 23 starts as Silva's men finished in the top half.

The 25-year-old's terms at Craven Cottage expire next summer, though, and a summer sale is not off the cards if he does not renew his contract, supposedly attracting the attention of Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the Daily Mail claims that Spurs could face competition from Monaco to sign Adarabioyo, and the French side are expected to hold talks with Fulham in due course.

The Ligue 1 giants have seemingly identified Adarabioyo as an ideal replacement for Axel Disasi, who is thought to be at the centre of a transfer tussle between Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Elsewhere in the English capital, West Ham United are understood to be one of three teams battling for the services of Corinthians attacker Yuri Alberto.

The 22-year-old joined the Brazilian giants permanently in January following a brief spell with Zenit St Petersburg and has seven goal and seven assists under his belt from 35 games in the 2023 season.

Alberto played just 15 matches for Zenit before leaving on a free transfer amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the former Santos youngster is contracted to Corinthians until December 2027.

However, Alberto's return to his homeland could be short-lived, as Football Insider reports that West Ham are among three Premier League teams weighing up a summer approach.

Two other unnamed top-flight outfits are also keeping tabs on the situation, and Alberto's agent Emmanuel Adewole is thought to be entertaining offers from foreign teams.

Alberto became an Under-17 South American champion with Brazil in 2017, and he made his senior international debut for the Selecao in a friendly defeat to Morocco in March.

Alberto could potentially arrive at the London Stadium to succeed Michail Antonio, who is thought to be on the radar of Steven Gerrard's Al Ettifaq.

The 33-year-old has been a faithful servant to the Hammers since leaving Nottingham Forest in 2015, scoring 75 goals and setting up 43 more in 276 matches over the past eight years.

Antonio shone during West Ham's run to the Europa Conference League title last year, netting six times and providing two assists in nine games as David Moyes's side defeated Fiorentina in the final.

However, the Jamaica international has now entered the final 12 months of his contract, and according to The Times, the Irons will not stand in his way of a summer departure.

Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq are said to have held preliminary discussions with the striker over a move to the Middle East, but West Ham are still waiting for a formal offer.

Antonio hit double figures in the Premier League in three successive seasons between 2019-20 and 2021-22, but he only managed six top-flight strikes last term amid competition from Danny Ings and Gianluca Scamacca. body check tags ::
