Fulham enquire about the availability of Dennis Praet ahead of a potential move for the Sampdoria midfielder, according to the Daily Mail.

What's the word?

Fulham have surprised everyone by landing some high-profile stars in this summer's transfer window.

Jean-Michael Seri and Andre Schurrle are two of six players that have arrived at Craven Cottage.

Aleksandar Mitrovic, Alfie Mawson, Fabricio and Maxime Le Marchand have also been recruited by the Cottagers.

Next on the list seems to be Sampdoria's Praet, as the Daily Mail reports that an enquiry has been made.

What would Praet provide?

The Belgian midfielder has been part of the Italian club since his 2016 switch from Anderlecht.

In total, the midfielder, who is valued at £22.5m by Transfermarkt, has made 68 appearances for the club.

Last season, Fulham impressed with their positive style of play, and it is a system that Praet can fit into.

Manager Slavisa Jokanovic can play the Belgian either in the centre of the park, slightly further forward or as a left winger.

Fulham will be playing less league games than when they were in the Championship, but the pressure will be greater as the club try to stay in the Premier League.

Having enough bodies in the squad will help the Cottagers cope with the demand, and Praet is certainly an addition that would be useful.
