After the relationship between the two outfits entered troubled waters following the acquisition of Harvey Elliott from the London-based outfit, a reported offer of £5m would, one imagine, represent something of an olive branch extended.

We’ve yet to see if it will prove agreeable for Fulham, though we at the EOTK would expect to take an offer that would supply them with what is effectively a best-case scenario (without the arrival of further bids).
