Fulham still keen on Premier League duo despite having opening bids rejected as Aston Villa eye Lutsharel Geertruida and Tottenham midfielder
Villa have recouped a similar amount through player sales, with the likes of Moussa Diaby, Douglas Luiz and Omari Kellyman all moving on for significant fees.Fulham have been much less active in the summer window so far.
Three players have joined the Cottagers, in Ryan Sessegnon, Emile Smith Rowe and Jorge Cuenca, while Joao Palhinha, Tim Ream and Kieron Bowie have departed.
Emre Can opened the scoring from the spot in the 33rd minute, before Julian Brandt doubled Dortmund’s advantage two minutes later to secure victory for last season’s Champions League finalists in front of a crowd of 81,365.
Goalkeeper Emi Martinez and defender Ezri Konsa returned for their first appearances of pre-season, although centre-forward duo Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran were not involved.
Dissecting some of most important Wolves goals under the ownership of Fosun which, although they’re not known as Goal of the Season contenders, were hugely significant in the club’s recent history.
Adama Traore’s finest afternoon in a Wolves shirt came in Manchester at the Etihad Stadium.
At his flying best, the Spaniard cooly finished off two stunning Old Gold counter attacks, with the assistance of Raul Jimenez, to stun the champions on home soil.
The second put the sealer on it in injury time, with Traore running in on Ederson and slotting home the crucial decider.
It felt amazing. Raul gave me two amazing assists and I’m so happy to help the team win and keep pushing. I know my speed and my dribbling, but after in the end I have to have the end product and I have to keep working on that. All the team worked so hard and I’m happy to keep winning.” Adama Traore
“We played good, the performance was good but defensively was very good and very organised. The boys worked hard until the end. The fans enjoyed it. Adama Traore is improving. He is special because he is very fast, he is unique in that and we searched for a moment of talent. It has been a long season already, too many games, but we always compete. I cannot say any game they have not done that.” Nuno Espirito Santo
