Fulham have opened talks with Atalanta BC for right-back Raoul Bellanova, according to the latest report. The new Premier League season is set to begin next week, with the Cottagers starting their campaign on August 24 against Chelsea. Boss Alvaro Arbeloa will have hoped for an easier start to life at Craven Cottage, especially as his squad is arguably understaffed. Seven players have left the club, either for free like Harry Wilson or for modest fees like Sasa Lukic, while four players have been signed so far. The Cottagers are currently 11th in the Premier League table, with 52 points from 38 games, and a goal difference of -4. They have scored 47 goals and conceded 51. Fulham's recent form has been 2W-2D-1L, with their last result being a 2-0 win over Newcastle on May 24. The team is currently on a 2-game winning run. However, they are 33 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race. With the transfer window still open, Fulham will be looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The team's next fixture is against Ipswich on October 10, but they will be without Tom Cairney due to injury.
