Bournemouth interested in Fulham's Zepa
Bournemouth are in talks to sign Fulham winger Macauley Zepa but expect competition from Nottingham Forest. The French youngster is looking to leave Craven Cottage amid concerns about his pathway into Marco Silva's first team having refused to sign a professional contract on his 17th birthday in July. Fulham would be due compensation but Bournemouth are looking to extend the ambition of their academy following renewed training ground investment under Bill Foley's ownership. Zepa scored 11 goals and supplied 10 assists in 30 league matches for Fulham's Under-18s last season and is understood to be negotiating terms over a move into Bournemouth's academy team. However, there is caution given known interest from Forest and the potential for a rival offer.
