Hot-on-the-heels of concluding the deal that saw the Spanish keeper, Fabri, join Fulham from Besiktas, it appears that another piece of transfer business will be concluded in the next 48 hours.
The local news source, West London Sport, are championing the inference that the club are set to sign the German winger, Andre Schurrle, something that is also being promoted on the social media networks:
✈️ SCHURRLE FLYING FOR MEDICAL ✈️
???????? #FFC look to have won the race for Dortmund’s Andre Schurrle, who is flying to London for a medical, per @SkySportsLyall

The 27-year-old is currently on the books of the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund but has previous experience of playing in the Premier League.
The German international made 44 appearances for our West London neighbours, Chelsea, before leaving to return to German football.
Our aforementioned source is implying that Schurrle has left Dortmund’s pre-season training camp in the USA to return to London to undertake a medical.
It also appears that Fulham have beaten Crystal Palace in the race to sign the player.
As for the reaction to what looks like a probable deal, the fans reactions are somewhat split, whilst some are all in favour:
incredible… let’s hope he’s like De Brunye with a second stint in England ????????????

Others have their doubts about the probable signing:
Not excited at all.
He hasn’t had a good game since the World Cup 2014.— Marcus Mi (@no1caneverknow) July 25, 2018
But, what are your thoughts on Fulham signing Andre Schurrle?
Would you perceive it as a good move or a bad move?
