Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Roma winger Matias Soule on a loan deal before Monday's transfer deadline.
Marco Silva's attacking options were recently weakened by the news that Harry Wilson suffered a stress fracture in his foot in last Sunday's defeat to Manchester United.
The Wales international will require surgery on the injury, with his recovery expected to keep him out of action for around 10 weeks.
Silva admitted that he was keen to recruit an attacker and a right-back to help him contend with the injuries to Wilson and Kenny Tete.

Fulham targeting Roma attacker
With the transfer window set to shut on Monday, it seems that Fulham's search for attacking reinforcements has led them to the Italian top flight.
According to Gianluca DiMarzio, Fulham are keen to strike a deal to recruit Roma's Soule before the transfer deadline.
While Fulham are not the only club showing an interest, they seem to have made the biggest effort to sign the Argentinian forward.
The report claims that the Premier League club are looking to reach an agreement with Roma over a loan move for the 21-year-old winger.
However, Roma are yet to decide whether they will sanction Soule's departure or keep him part of Claudio Ranieri's side beyond the end of the window.

Who is Fulham's attacking target?
Soule, who can play as a winger or number 10, spent time in Juventus' youth setup after joining the Italian giants from Velez Sarsfield in January 2020.
While he made 21 appearances for the Juventus first-team, Soule really made a name for himself in last season's loan stint at Frosinone.
Soule scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 36 Serie A appearances, proving to be a shining light in a disappointing campaign for the relegated side.
Although he could not keep Frosinone in the top flight, Soule's impressive performances proved enough to earn him a move to Roma in last summer's transfer window.
However, the left-footed attacker has struggled to establish himself in the Roma side, having had to settle for nine starts in 20 competitive appearances.
With that in mind, a potential loan move to Fulham could give Soule the chance to gain regular game time and showcase the sort of form that he produced at Frosinone last season.
