According to a number of reliable sources, a formal bid has been lodged by Fulham for Arthur Atta, the midfielder currently plying his trade at Udinese. He has been the subject of heated transfer speculation over recent weeks, and this latest bid could signal a turning point in the transfer saga. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Fulham are progressing without added pressure. So far this season, Fulham are steady at both ends (1.37 goals scored per game, 1.42 goals conceded per game). The role for Arthur Atta would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Fulham with Ilan Kebbal, Oscar Bobb and Ricardo Pepi while no fresh rumours surround Udinese. More on this story as it develops. Need more Fulham transfer rumours?
