Kenny Tete is set to leave Fulham and join Everton before the transfer deadline, with the right-back expected to make the switch to the Toffees ahead of tomorrow’s cut-off.
According to ToffeeWeb, the defender will depart Craven Cottage for a move to one of Fulham’s Premier League rivals, bringing an end to his time in west London. The report indicates that Everton are the destination, although further details around the structure of the deal, including any fee or contract length, have not yet been outlined.
The move comes at a busy stage of the window, with clubs working to complete late business before the deadline passes. Tete’s expected transfer gives Everton another option at right-back, while Fulham are now preparing for his exit with little time remaining to react in the market.
For the player, the switch offers a fresh start without leaving the Premier League. Tete has been identified as a right-sided defensive addition for Everton, and the anticipated move across the division underlines the urgency often seen in the final hours of the summer window.
There has been no suggestion in the supplied report that the deal is dependent on wider negotiations or outgoing business, but the timing means both clubs will need to finalise the necessary paperwork quickly. With the deadline arriving tomorrow, confirmation could follow soon if the remaining formalities are completed.
Everton supporters will now wait for official word from the club, while Fulham appear set to lose a senior right-back to a direct league competitor before the window closes.
