Fulham have made a massive statement in the transfer market by reaching a verbal agreement to sign American striker Ricardo Pepi from PSV Eindhoven.
The deal, described as a “here we go” by top sources, is worth a total package of €36 million, marking a significant investment for the West London club as they look to bolster their attacking options for the 2026/27 season.
The 23-year-old USMNT star has reportedly already agreed to personal terms with the Cottagers, showing his desire to test himself in the Premier League after a productive stint in the Eredivisie.
Pepi has been in fine form for PSV, and his movement and clinical finishing have made him one of the most sought-after young strikers in Europe.
The formal steps of the transfer are expected to follow quickly, with the medical scheduled to take place in London in the coming days.
If everything goes according to plan, Pepi will become one of the most expensive American players in history, joining a growing list of US internationals making their mark in England’s top flight.
For Fulham, this move signals a clear intent to compete for European spots. By securing Pepi, they land a versatile forward who can lead the line or play in a front two, providing a fresh dynamic to Marco Silva’s tactical setup.
Fans at Craven Cottage will be eager to see if “Train Pepi” can maintain its momentum on the banks of the Thames.
