Fulham wideman Neeskens Kebano is moving closer to a loan exit from Craven Cottage this month, as per the Star.

They report that struggling Sheffield Wednesday want the pacy winger to boost their attacking options this month and discussions are ongoing.

Kebano was an important part of Slavisa Jokanovic’s Cottagers squad which earned promotion through the Championship play-offs last season but he has struggled for gametime in the top flight.

Another Yorkshire club who are in need of widemen are Leeds United, as they seek to maintain their automatic promotion push.

To that end, they have reportedly targeted Swansea’s Daniel James and Bristol City’s Callum O’Dowda this month, but are yet to bring a wing target through the door.

Kebano has impressive Championship pedigree and can play in a number of positions, offering a direct threat and the ability to beat a man from both flanks or through the middle.

He was comfortable in Fulham’s flowing style last season and would have no problem adjusting to Marcelo Bielsa’s demanding, attractive style of play.

The deal would have the added bonus of swiping away a local rival’s transfer target but the most important thing is that Leeds use the window to beef up their squad – and signing Kebano would certainly do exactly that.
