Fulham have secured a major coup with the capture of Jean Michael Seri and are ready to rival Wolves in their £16m pursuit of Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Slavisa Jokanovic, the Fulham manager, has issued a huge statement of intent with the £25m club record signing of Ivory Coast international Seri from Nice.

Seri has also been trailed by Chelsea and Barcelona but the midfielder has opted to join last season's Championship play-off winners after passing a medical on Tuesday.

Fulham are now considering a bid for Zinchenko as Jokanovic strengthens his squad for the Premier League.

Zinchenko, 21, is a target for Wolves and Jorge Mendes, the agent assisting the West Midlands club, has been in negotiations with City over a potential deal.
