Fulham FC have been relegated to the EFL Championship after just one season in the Premier League

3 Fulham players who could stay on in the Premier League

Fulham's relegation from the Premier League was officially confirmed earlier this week, after their 2-0 defeat to Burnley left them 10 points adrift of safety with just three games to play.

The Cottagers were promoted last season after winning the EFL Championship. However, they failed to keep up their heroics in the English top-flight and will return to the second-tier after just one season.

West Brom Albion and Sheffield United are the other two teams that will go down to the Championship with the Londoners.

Fulham might not take all their players down with them

Nevertheless, there is no shortage of quality players in the current Fulham squad who could do a decent job if given a chance in another Premier League team.

With that in mind, we list three of their players who could stay on in the Premier League.

#1 André-Frank Zambo Anguissa

Arguably the best Fulham player this season, André-Frank Zambo Anguissa has the quality to play for a top Champions League side, let alone a Premier League club.

Signed from Marseille FC in 2018, Zambo-Anguissa is a powerful midfielder with immense strength, energy and aggression. He has won 2.2 tackles per game this season, while also completing 1.4 interceptions and 0.4 clearances per game.

Apart from his defensive abilities, the Cameroon international is an excellent dribbler as well and has completed 2.6 dribbles per game in the league this season.

The 25-year old midfielder has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Everton and Aston Villa in recent weeks and it would come as a surprise if he stays at Craven Cottage beyond this season.

#2 Tosin Adarabioyo

Tosin Adarabioyo has been a revelation since joining Fulham from Manchester City for £2 million at the start of the current campaign.

The 23-year old center-back is an excellent reader of the game and has completed the highest number of clearances (178) in the Premier League this season. He doesn't rush into tackles either, preferring instead to wait for his opponents to make a move before catching them on the loose.

The Manchester-born defender is a brilliant passer as well and has completed 1510 passes with an accuracy of 85.9 per cent this season.

At just 23, Adarabioyo has a lot of potential to improve in the future and is unlikely to stay on with Fulham. Look for him to be snapped up by a Premier League side this summer.


#3 Antonee Robinson

Signed from Wigan Athletic last summer, Antonee Robinson has been one of the bright spots in an otherwise disastrous season for Fulham.

The 23-year old American is a proper modern-day full-back who contributes heavily in both attack and defense. He has averaged 1.7 dribbles per game this season, while also boasting a tackle success rate of 62 per cent.

Apart from that, he has completed an impressive 1.3 interceptions and 1.9 clearances this campaign.

The former Everton defender possesses all the qualities needed to play for a top-flight club and could drive interest from Premier League teams in the summer.
