Fulham closing in on Thomas Strakosha free transfer as newly-promoted side look to raid Lazio for goalkeeper | The Sun

FULHAM are closing in on the signing of Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old has been in talks with the West Londoners for a number of weeks over a move to the Premier League.

The Albanian stopper is out of contract at the Serie A side, and wants to test himself in England.

SunSport understands his deal with the Cottagers could be up to four years and worth around £1million a year.

He is also expected to receive a hefty signing-on bonus along with other additions on top of that.

The move has not yet been sealed, but both the club and player are confident the deal will go through.
