Fulham interested in Huddersfield striker Grant

Fulham are interested in signing Huddersfield forward Karlan Grant this summer.

Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion are also interested in the 22-year-old, who scored four Premier League goals last season before Huddersfield’s relegation and has netted 16 times this term.

Brentford, then managed by Villa boss Dean Smith, wanted to sign Grant in January 2019, when he was at Charlton.

In the end he was snapped up by Huddersfield for an undisclosed fee. Grant is under contract at the Yorkshire club until 2022.

Now Fulham are looking to bring Londoner Grant back to the capital when the transfer window reopens – regardless of which division the club are in.

Like West Brom, Fulham are in the thick of the promotion race. Albion are currently second in the Championship table, six points clear of the Whites.

Scott Parker’s side will be looking to cut that gap to three points when they face Brentford in Friday’s derby at Craven Cottage.
