Fulham FC targeting Bristol City’s Nicky Maynard
Despite avid interest from Sven Goran Eriksson’s ambitious Leicester City, Fulham look to be the favourites to sign Bristol City striker Nicky Maynard.
Maynard, 24, has a good scoring record at Bristol with 37 goals in 98 games and would be a welcome addition to the striking department at Craven Cottage which is looking slightly depleted at the moment with only 3 forwards in the first team.
Maynard won’t come cheap however. Bristol manager Keith Millen wants at least £5m, which is slightly expensive for a Championship player who was injured for the majority of last season.
Rumours suggest Maynard is very keen on a move to the Premier League and this could be a contributing factor in whether Millen will sell Bristol’s record signing.
The decision for Maynard is whether he will join Sven’s Leicester revolution and get plenty of games at a level where he has proved he can score, or make his dream move to Fulham but risk being left on the bench.
