Fulham are looking to tie up a deal to sign goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Arsenal.
The promoted Whites have been in negotiations to buy Leno and an agreement now appears to be close.
Germany international Leno, 30, was signed by Arsenal from Bayer Leverkusen in 2018 but has since lost his place to Aaron Ramsdale.
He is in the final year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium and is eager to play first-team football.
The Gunners recently signed American keeper Matt Turner, paving the way for Leno to move on.
Fulham boss Marco Silva has been keen to sign a keeper this summer as his side prepare for the Premier League campaign.
With the 2022 FIFA World Cup kicking off this winter and Leno usually Germany’s backup to Manuel Neuer, it makes sense why the shot-stopper is open to signing for Fulham.
The west London side can guarantee Leno regular football in the Premier League, and although Fulham are strong favourites to go down, signing Leno could give Marco Silva’s side a fighting chance of doing the impossible and surviving their comeback season in the English top flight.
