Fulham targets Barcelona defender Hector Fort amid transfer interest
Summary

Fulham is reportedly pursuing Barcelona right-back Hector Fort as part of its summer transfer strategy under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa. Arbeloa is focused on enhancing the squad with more Spanish talent, having already signed Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios. Fort's future at Barcelona appears uncertain due to competition from players like Jules Kounde and Joao Cancelo, prompting the interest from Fulham and Everton. Fort, valued at approximately €10 million, may seek regular playing time elsewhere after a successful loan at Elche last season.
