Fulham are close to completing the signing of Shakhtar Donetsk winger Kevin (22), in what will be the most expensive purchase in the club’s history, according to reports.

Spanish outlet AS reports that the Cottagers will make “their biggest ever investment” to secure the young Brazilian’s signature.

According to the cited outlet, Fulham will pay between €40m and €45m (approximately £34.5m to £38.9m), in a deal that would involve a fixed fee + add-ons depending on various objectives.
