Fulham<\/a> are closing in on a \u00a328.5m deal for PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi, who has arrived in London for a medical.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was the subject of a similar bid in January<\/a>, but the Dutch top-flight club opted to keep him until the summer<\/a> as they were unable to find a suitable replacement.<\/p>\n

Fulham<\/a> have now returned to finalise a move for the United States international, who is expected to sign a contract until 2031 at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

Pepi would join the Cottagers in the summer, with striker Raul Jimenez out of contract at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

PSV will have additional time during the longer summer transfer window to secure a replacement before next season.<\/p>\n

Pepi is expected to complete the move after the 2026 World Cup, when he is likely to feature for the USA who, along with Canada and Mexico, are co-hosts of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Having started his career in his native Texas, Pepi moved to German club Augsburg in 2022, immediately joining FC Groningen on loan in the Netherlands before earning a permanent move to PSV, one of the country’s traditional ‘big three’ clubs.<\/p>\n

Pepi has scored 13 goals in 29 appearances this season, including three in five Champions League matches.<\/p>\n

Fulham<\/a> are currently 11th in the Premier League table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fulham are closing in on a \u00a328.5m deal for PSV Eindhoven striker Ricardo Pepi, who has arrived in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":531656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-531655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/531656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
