Fulham FC have been relegated back to the EFL Championship after finishing 18th in the Premier League table last season.
The Londoners' failure to stay up in the English top-division resulted in manager Scott Parker choosing to take on a new challenge at Bournemouth. Former Everton and Watford manager Marco Silva was recently named as his replacement.
The Portuguese manager has already made improvements to the squad by signing winger Harry Wilson from Liverpool FC along with goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga from Tottenham Hotspur. However, there are still areas in the Fulham squad that need to be strengthened before the start of next season.
3 signings that could help Fulham return to the Premier League next season
#1 Cameron Carter-Vickers (Tottenham Hotspur)
Joachim Anderson, who was one of Fulham's top performers last season, has left Craven Cottage following the end of his loan move from Lyon. His departure has left a huge void to fill in the squad and signing his replacement will be among the key priorities for the London-based club this summer.
Cameron Carter-Vickers, who spent last season on-loan at Bournemouth from Tottenham Hotspur, impressed with his performances at the Vitality Stadium.
The 23-year old made 23 league appearances in the recently concluded campaign, registering 3.6 clearances per game, along with 1.1 interceptions and 0.7 blocks. He also impressed with his passing and completed 990 passes with an accuracy of 84 per cent during the 2020-21 season.
However, the United States international has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs in recent weeks. The Cottagers need to act fast to secure the signature of the talented defender.
#2 Kieffer Moore (Cardiff City)
One of the biggest reasons for Fulham's downfall during the 2020-21 season was their inability to score goals on a regular basis. The Cottagers managed to score just 26 league goals over the past season, a record that only bottom-placed Sheffield United could not match.
Cardiff City striker Kieffer Moore has established himself among the top strikers in the English second division over the past few seasons. The Welsh target man could prove to be a great signing for the Cottagers.
The 28-year-old is a strong presence up-front and won 10.5 aerial battles per game last season. Apart from that, he is also clinical in front of goal and scored 20 goals in 42 appearances during the 2020-21 season.
The former Wigan Athletic attacker also impressed with his performances for Wales during UEFA Euro 2020 and scored one goal in four appearances in the recently concluded tournament.
#3 George Honeyman (Hull City)
The lack of a consistent goal-threat from midfield was one of the biggest issues for Fulham last season. None of the Cottagers' midfielders managed to score more than one goal during the 2020-21 season.
George Honeyman was brilliant for Hull City throughout the 2020-2021 campaign and played an important role in the Tigers' promotion to the Championship from EFL League One.
The 26-year old played 42 games this past season, scoring four and assisting 13 goals. His performances earned him the place in the EFL League One Team of the Year and he was also awarded the Hull City Player of the Year accolade.
The former Sunderland midfielder is currently at the peak of his career and will be an excellent creative addition to the Londoners' midfield.
