Fulham could be the latest Championship club to be hit with a transfer embargo by the Football League, according to a report by The Sun.

The club made seven new signings in the summer transfer window, including the arrivals of Tom Cairney, Richard Stearman and Tim Ream who were all signed from rivals for fees of over £1 million.

This spending is being looked at by the Football League and Fulham could be hit with an embargo for the January transfer window lasting for the rest of the season.

Fulham also made some big money sales in summer, with Patrick Roberts signing for Premier League title-contenders Manchester City plus the smaller sale of Bryan Ruiz. However this income may not be enough to balance the books and avoid a ban.

Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest are two Championship clubs already under transfer embargo and Fulham could be about to join them.
