Rumour report

(Latest update: )

Fulham's pursuit of Jack Butland reaches new heights. Numerous reports indicating a 86% probability of the goalkeeper making the switch to his potential new club. Here is why.

  • Fulham has often bought players who are approximately the same age as the current age of Jack Butland (32).
  • Jack Butland is in a favorable situation regarding potential playing time, as there are only a limited number of direct competitors for his position within the current Fulham squad. This significantly increases his chances to prove himself and become a key player on the field.
  • The absence of key players at Fulham who play in the same position as Jack Butland increases his chances of playing a significant role in the short term and allows him to establish himself as a valuable asset in Fulham's squad.
Transfer Logic score:
