Fulham are reported to be close to completing the appointment of a new manager following the departure of Marco Silva. The Cottagers are widely reported to have stepped up their move for a new head coach by entering advanced negotiations with former Real Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa.

What's Happening?

Fulham's search for a new manager has been ongoing, with several top candidates in the running. According to GiveMeSport's Ben Jacobs, Arbeloa's move to Fulham is “now almost done.”

The Contenders

Other potential targets included Ruben Amorim, who has ruled himself out, and Abel Ferreira, who has decided to stay at Palmeiras. Frank Lampard had previously been linked with interest from Crystal Palace, but it seems Fulham has also spoken to him.
