DONE DEAL: Silva insists Fulham must 'act faster' after sealing Salomon signature

Fulham boss Marco Silva has urged the club to 'act faster' in the transfer market, despite completing the signing of Manor Salomon.

The Israeli winger was signed on a free transfer after he was allowed to terminate his contract with Ukraine due to the ongoing conflict in the country.

Fulham are in talks to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno and Wolfsburg defender Kevin Mbabu.

And Silva wants those deals completed as soon as possible.

"We need to act faster, the market has been difficult for us, but we have to act faster, even so the pre-season has been very positive, the players have been giving their all, which is always important, and it's good to integrate the new players," he said.

"Its part of a process, we started later than some of our opponents, but it was a positive pre-season.

"We have to have more reinforcements for when the Premier League starts, there is no other way, we still have a few players to sign and they are not that few.

"We know the market only closes on August 31st, but the Premier League starts on August 6th for us. We have to have more players to be at the level that the Premier League requires."
