Fulham and Southampton table offers for young attacker – €15 and €18m bids reported

There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Fulham and Southampton have stepped up their pursuit for Besiktas attacker Semih Kılıçsoy in recent weeks.

The 18-year-old has been linked with both Premier League sides this summer following his performances for the Black Eagles last season.

Sabah today report on the latest developments regarding the future of Kılıçsoy and a proposed move to England. They claim Fulham have made the first move after scout Brian Talbot approved him previously.

Fulham then approached the Istanbul club with an offer of €15m. plus add-ons, however, this was rejected by Besiktas.

Southampton are also said to have made an offer for Kılıçsoy after claims they came in with a higher bid of €18m for the young forward. Again, this was rejected by the Super Lig club and there are no reports whether the two English sides will come in with improved offers.

Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have also been linked with the player in this window.
