Fulham step up transfer interest in Le Havre centre-half Arouna Sangante but face shelling out £15million

FULHAM are stepping up interest in Le Havre skipper Arouna Sangante.

The Senegalese centre-half, 21, is on the Craven Cottage radar and was watched in last week’s Ligue 1 clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

He played on the right of a back three but is versatile and a tough competitor.

Le Havre have started the term well and Sangante has been a key man in their tight defence.

Marco Silva’s side may have to pay around £15million for him and are expected to take another look before committing to that level of fee.

The Cottagers are desperate to boost their forward line after selling Aleksandar Mitrovic to Saudi side Al-Hilala in the summer.

Broja spent months on the sidelines with a knee injury but returned in September and scored in a 2-0 win over Fulham.

Fulham could sign the striker on loan if Blues are willing to let him leave, having previously loaned the 22-year-old to Southampton.

The west London club are also said to be interested in Stuggart’s goal menace Serhou Guirassy who has netted 16 goals in 11 Bundesliga matches.

Wolfsburg’s Jonas Wind is another player on Fulham’s radar.
