2 reasons why Fulham could sign Shakhtar winger and Napoli target Kevin

1. Shakhtar have already secured Kevin’s replacement

Aware of the interest generated by the 22-year-old winger, Shakhtar have already secured the signing of who is very probably Kevin’s successor.

The Italian journalist we recently cited reported that the Ukrainian club have already secured the signing of Lucas Ferreira (2006) from Sao Paulo for around £8 million.

This is a clear indicator that Shakhtar are already thinking about a future without Kevin.

2. Kevin is not Napoli’s priority

As reported by Football Italia, while it’s true that Napoli are looking to sign a winger, this isn’t their priority in this transfer window.

The mentioned outlet explains that the real focus of the Italian club’s sporting direction is signing Spanish duo Juanlu Sanchez from Sevilla and Miguel Gutierrez from Girona.

“Only at a later date will Napoli consider making an approach for another attacking winger,” they wrote on the cited portal.
