Fulham are in prime position to land a former Tottenham Hotspur academy star who was once tipped to be the next Harry Kane.
A relatively quiet summer window saw the Cottagers spend the bulk of their budget on the alluringly-named young Brazilian, Kevin.
Fulham lead race for the the next Harry Kane
Despite that, Marco Silvas side look light up front, with Rodrigo Muniz injured, Raul Jimenez entering the twilight of his career, and Kusi-Asare scarcely getting a look in.
Fulham have landed on a target they hope will bolster their attacking ranks, but those watching on from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be praying it doesnt work out too well.

Fulham are said to be leading the race for AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott, according to Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.
They are joined in that battle by German outfit Wolfsburg and LaLiga side Real Betis, but the interest is believed to be the strongest from the west London club.
Parrott already had a substantial profile through his connection to Spurs once tipped as the next Harry Kane but the spotlight intensified after he put two past Portugal before netting a hat-trick against Hungary three days later, bagging the Republic of Ireland a World Cup play-off spot in the process.
The 23-year-old left Spurs permanently in the summer of 2024 in a deal that cost AZ just under �7m.
Hes now scored 39 goals in 72 outings for the Dutch side, who are said to want more than the �17.4m supposedly proposed by Wolfsburg, with Fulham showing the strongest interest of the named trio.
Its clear Parrott is flying in the Eredivisie at the minute so, in FourFourTwos opinion, it might not be long until we see him back in one of Europes top five leagues.
However, per Delaneys report, the Irish striker wants to consider his next move carefully, and while a Premier League return is his ultimate aim, he may benefit from taking another step to get there.
There would certainly be no shame in doing so for Parrott, as Erling Haaland did precisely the same in heading to Borussia Dortmund to prepare for the intensity of Englands top tier, and hes doing quite well for himself now.
Parrott is valued at 22m, according to Transfermarkt.
