Fulham will reportedly aim to sign 23-year-old Cameroonian international Enzo Boyomo from La Liga club CA Osasuna next year.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Enzo Boyomo is the subject of interest of Fulham. The Cottagers are keen on reinforcing their defensive unit by signing a centre-back in one of the two transfer windows next year. So, the 23-year-old CA Osasuna defender has emerged as a target for the West London club.

Fulham will face stiff competition from fellow Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers for the Toulouse-born defender’s signature, while Juventus recently failed with an offer of around €15 million to secure his services. Meanwhile, CA Osasuna will point to the release clause worth €25 million in Boyomo’s contract to part ways with him.

Enzo Boyomo and his soaring stock

Enzo Boyomo has established himself as one of the most underrated defenders in La Liga since joining CA Osasuna from Real Valladolid last summer. A native of Toulouse, the 23-year-old spent most of his formative years in his hometown before graduating from the youth division at Blackburn Rovers. However, he has risen in prominence since moving to Spain a few years ago.

The Cameroonian international has made nearly 50 appearances thus far for CA Osasuna while chipping in with two goals. Meanwhile, Boyomo’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. A return to England may be on the cards, with Fulham among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.

London calling?

Fulham’s interest in Enzo Boyomo is understandable. While Joachim Andersen and Calvin Bassey have been exceptional for the West London outfit, Issa Diop and Jorge Cuenca have yet to be convincing enough in their outings at the heart of the defence. So, Fulham can do with a new centre-back, particularly if either defender leaves next year.

Boyomo has thus emerged as a viable target for Fulham. However, the West London outfit will face stiff competition from Wolverhampton Wanderers for the French-born defender’s signature next year. Additionally, Juventus recently failed with a bid worth €15 million, with CA Osasuna demanding €25 million to part ways with him.

Boyomo has a release clause worth €25 million in his contract with Osasuna, and Los Rojillos will not let him leave for less than that sum. The 23-year-old Cameroonian international was also a target for other Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window, and it will be interesting to see if Fulham can win the battle for his signature.
