Fulham ready to make approach for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez?

Fulham have reportedly identified Liverpool defender Joe Gomez as one of their priority summer transfer targets.

On Monday evening, the Cottagers finally wrapped up the Championship title with a 7-0 demolition of Preston North End, taking their tally for goals to 106 in the process.

However, having failed to cement their top-flight position during their last stint in the Premier League, lessons will need to be learned when it comes to recruitment.

According to Football League World, the West Londoners want to make a statement with the acquisition of England international Gomez.

The 24-year-old has endured a frustrating campaign at Anfield, making just 10 starts and 10 substitute appearances in all competitions after losing his place in the middle of the backline and being used as backup to right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

While a switch to a newly-promoted club may not necessarily appeal to Gomez, Fulham can offer first-team football ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
