Fulham close to sealing Raibu transfer

Premier League side Fulham are on the verge of signing 23 year old Evian midfielder Mohammad Raibu according to the Ligue 1 side's coach Pascal Dupraz.

The Ghanaian international is considered to be one of the most talented young defensive midfielders in Ligue 1 presently and is being reportedly courted by Portuguese side Benfica as well. 


Fulham boss Martin Jol has been guaranteed transfer funds by their new owner Shahid Khan after Mohamed Al Fayed recently sold the London club after having owned it for the last sixteen years.


It is not yet sure as to how much Fulham are paying for the midfielder. Benfica have also emerged as a strong favorite to signing the midfielder, as revealed by Dupraz.


Evian coach Pascal Dupraz said: "We have already started negotiations with Benfica and Fulham to sell Rabiu, but the deal has not been finalised yet."
