FULHAM are interested in signing versatile £15 million-rated Stuttgart forward Silas Katompa Mvumpa. 

Silas, 26, scored seven goals in 30 appearances in all competitions last season and helped the side finish second in the Bundesliga, behind unbeaten Bayer Lverkusen. 

DR Congo international Silas joined Stuttgart from Paris FC in 2019 and scored seven league goals the following promotion season. 

The Cottagers were interested in a January deal for the attacker and reportedly offered £13million. 

Stuttgart’s former director of football Sven Mislintat has compared Silas to ex-Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. 

“He is quieter [than Aubameyang] but very focused,” Mislintat said. “He listens, he learns a lot. He knows exactly what he is. He’s aggressive. He is a winner.”

“Silas has become better and better and improved quite a lot.”
