Fulham flop Kevin Mbabu close to joining Servette on loan

Fulham flop Kevin Mbabu is reportedly very close to joining Swiss side Servette on loan for the remainder of the season. 

According to The Athletic, the two clubs have reached an agreement and the 27-year-old is set to undergo his medical in Geneva. 

The defender joined the Cottagers in the summer for an initial €5.5 million fee with additional €2 million in add-ons. But he has failed to make an impact at Craven Cottage. 

The right-back has made six Premier League appearances so far, starting only one game. 

Manager Marco Silva has preferred Kenny Tete and Bobby de Cordova-Reid for the right-back position this season. 

Mbabu’s first-team prospects suffered a further blow when Fulham signed Cedric Soares on loan from Arsenal last month. 

The Switzerland international is now set to join Servette where he first started his career. He had left to join Newcastle United after making his senior debut at Stade de Geneve. 

Fulham going in the right direction under Marco Silva 

The Cottagers have enjoyed an excellent 2022-23 season so far. They have lost against the top teams but have consistently picked up full points against the lower-ranked sides. 

The London outfit have been particularly impressive after the mid-season break. They registered five victories from eight top-flight matches after the World Cup break to move up to seventh in the Premier League table. 

Fulham are going in the right direction under Marco Silva who has brought a huge improvement. The Cottagers will now be hoping to secure European football for next season.
