Marco Silva has revealed Timothy Castagne's transfer to Fulham from Leicester is "really close" to being completed.

A fee understood to be in the region of £15million is near to being agreed after Silva's recent calls for transfers ahead of the September 1 deadline, following the departure of star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic earlier this month.

The head coach said: "It's not 100% done but it’s almost done and when this happens I can speak about him. 

"He was one of my first targets since the beginning and when we started to plan for this season.

"He's a player who will give us very good solutions in terms of position, he's a very good player who I believe will be a great addition for us. 

"The feedback I have got is that things are on the right track and either today or tomorrow we will have news about him and he is really close to being our player, I am really pleased.

"We have Kenny [Tete] and [Antonee] Robinson who we are really happy with but we need a right-back and we can get one with the quality of Timothy, with his experience and versatility at left-back also."

Silva will miss Fulham's Carabao Cup tie against Tottenham on Tuesday after picking up his third yellow card of the season and has also criticised the decisions to send off two of his players already this term.

He said: "I know my feelings and I know the feelings of everyone in this football club about all the situations that has happened in the last three weeks and my feeling is not good.

"I have to understand and try to change some things that they want me to change."
