Fulham to sign Sergio Rico?

Fulham are reportedly close to signing Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico.

The 24-year-old was mooted as a potential target for Chelsea, before the Blues bought Kepa Arrizabalaga from Atletic Bilbao in a world-record £71m deal.

According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are now interested in swooping for the stopper, who has featured over 150 times for his current employers.

The newspaper says that Rico, who is surplus to requirements at Sevilla after the club signed Tomas Vaclik from Basel, would be open to a switch to the Premier League with a chance of more minutes.

Rico is a two-time Europa League winner in his time with Sevilla.
