Fulham intensify pursuit of Shakhtar Donetsk star Kevin

Fulham are pressing ahead with plans to bolster their attacking options this summer, as Marco Silva targets one of Shakhtar Donetsk’s brightest stars. The West London club have tabled a fresh bid for Brazilian star Kevin, signaling their determination to secure his services before the close of the transfer window.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano reports that Fulham’s latest proposal is worth €37 million plus performance-related add-ons. While the offer demonstrates serious ambition, it still falls short of Shakhtar’s firm €50 million valuation for the 22-year-old. According to figures from Transfermarkt.com, Kevin’s current market value sits at €12 million, underlining how highly Shakhtar rate their player.

Since arriving at Shakhtar Donetsk, Kevin has emerged as a key figure in the team, following the well-trodden path of Brazilian talents who have made their mark in Ukrainian football. Over the course of 55 appearances, he has delivered 16 goals and 9 assists, proving himself capable of changing the course of a match both by finding the net and by creating scoring chances for teammates.

His blend of technical skill, tactical vision, and positional versatility has attracted attention from multiple European clubs. Fulham see him as a player who could slot seamlessly into Silva’s system, offering both creativity and attacking drive in attack.

Kevin’s abilities have also been recognized on the international stage. Representing Brazil at U20 level, he has made five appearances and scored two goals. His performances in youth tournaments have showcased his composure and attacking instincts, marking him as a potential future candidate for the senior national team.

Under Marco Silva’s guidance, Fulham have made significant progress in establishing themselves as a competitive Premier League side. Following a solid mid-table finish last season, the manager is determined to strengthen his squad with players who can make an immediate impact.

Kevin’s signing would not only enhance the team’s creative options but also bring youthful energy and the kind of flair that can unlock stubborn defenses. For Fulham, investing in a player of his caliber would be a strategic move aimed at building sustained success in the top flight.

While both clubs remain apart on the fee, ongoing discussions suggest Fulham may yet return with an improved offer. Time is ticking, and with the summer transfer window nearing its decisive stage, the pressure is mounting to reach a resolution.

Should the deal be finalized, Fulham supporters could soon witness Kevin bringing his Brazilian style to Craven Cottage, adding a new dimension to the club’s attacking play. Until then, the Kevin transfer saga promises to be one of the most closely followed stories of the summer in English football.
