Fulham owner Mohamed Fayed is
close to selling the club to Shahid Khan (above), with the proposed takeover expected to be announced by the end of the week. Khan is the owner of American Football Team the Jackson Jaguars and will pay Fayed somewhere in the region of £150 to £200 million for the club, pending Premier League approval. With an estimated fortune of £1.7 billion, Khan is twice as wealthy as Fayed and could significantly increase Fulham's transfer spending over the next few years. Despite bankrolling the club's rise from the third tier of English football to the topflight after buying Fulham for £6.25 million in 1997, spending under Fayed has been relatively frugal recently. All three of the London club's summer signings so far Maarten Stekelenburg, Derek Boateng and Fernando Amorebieta have arrived on free transfers. The Egypt-born chairman has instead focused on improving Craven Cottage, and helping improve the stadium's capacity to an estimated 30,000. However, now that Pakistan-born Khan is set to take over, we could be about to see a reversal in transfer policy at Fulham over the next couple of seasons. Here, we take a look at 5 players the new owner should buy to show he means business.
