Fulham Push for Sterling and Chukwueze as Brentford Close in on Nelson

Fulham are making a late splash in the transfer market with moves for Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling and AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze, as the summer transfer window ticks toward its dramatic close.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Fulham remain in active talks with both players, with Sterling high on their shortlist of attacking reinforcements. Meanwhile, Chukwueze has already agreed personal terms with the London club and is expected to undergo his medical in London today.

In another deadline day twist, Brentford have sealed a deal to sign Reiss Nelson from Arsenal. The 25-year-old winger opted for a loan move to the Bees after rejecting advances from other Premier League sides and European clubs. Nelson is also set to undergo his medical later today.

Opinion: Fulham’s Ambition, Brentford’s Smartness

Fulham’s pursuit of both Sterling and Chukwueze shows a club unwilling to settle for mediocrity. Adding a proven Premier League veteran like Sterling alongside the raw pace and flair of Chukwueze could transform their attack into one of the most unpredictable in the league. For fans at Craven Cottage, that kind of ambition feels refreshing — and necessary — in a season where staying competitive is a must.

Brentford, on the other hand, continue to prove why they’re one of the smartest operators in English football. Picking up Nelson on loan is shrewd business — low risk, high reward. He’s got unfinished business in the Premier League, and Thomas Frank’s system could be the perfect place for him to finally deliver on his promise.

As the clock ticks down on deadline day, both Fulham and Brentford are showing something fans love to see: decisive, bold moves that spark hope and excitement. After all, transfers are not just about filling gaps — they’re about sending a message. And today, both clubs are shouting loud and clear.
