LEICESTER star Timothy Castagne is on the verge of an immediate Premier League return with Fulham, according to reports.
The full-back was part of the Foxes side that were relegated to the Championship last season.
Castagne is yet to play in the second tier and could bounce straight back to the Prem with Fulham.
The Cottagers are in advanced talks over the move, claim reports in the players' homeland of Belgium.
Castagne supposedly prefers a switch to Italian giants Juventus, who are also keen on him.
But initial interest is yet to turn into anything substantial – as is the reported link with Arsenal – and Fulham are his most concrete option.

Castagne begun his career with Genk before moving to Serie A outfit Atalanta.
He signed for Leicester in 2020 and has gone on to play 112 times for the club, scoring five goals.
The 27-year-old was part of the team that won the FA Cup in 2021.
But with his contract expiring in 2025 and new boss Enzo Maresca looking to rebuild the team, Castagne could be the next to depart the King Power.
