The deal – a club record for Fulham – will see them pay an initial £27m, plus add-ons that could take the total to £34m.

Final details are being sorted between the clubs but personal terms for the midfielder have been agreed in principle – and Smith Rowe is expected to have a medical this week.

Smith Rowe played only 346 minutes in the Premier League last season, making just three starts, with a knee injury ruling him out for six weeks in October.

The 24-year-old has won three senior England caps, the last in March 2022, but he was a member of the squad that won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship last summer.

Fulham fly to Portugal for a pre-season training camp on Tuesday and it is hoped Smith Rowe will join up with them at some point during the camp.

The 2024 summer transfer window officially closes on August 30 at 11pm UK time in the Premier League and 11.30pm in Scotland.

The Premier League has brought forward Deadline Day to link up with the other major leagues in Europe. The closing dates were set following discussions with the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France.
