Fulham want Lyon forward Maxwel Cornet?

Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Lyon forward Maxwel Cornet.

The 21-year-old played a key role in his side's Champions League clash with Manchester City, scoring the opening goal at the Etihad Stadium as the visitors secured a 2-1 victory.

According to The Sun, the Cottagers are preparing a bid for the Ivorian striker and are willing to pay £18m to land him next summer.

The report also claims that Fulham wanted the player previously but were put off by the high price tag at the time.

Cornet has 18 goals in 97 appearances for the Ligue 1 club.
