Fulham’s summer rebuilding project could see the West London club make a move for former Nottingham Forest youth team product Felix Bastians according to the Nottingham Post.
The 27 year old German graduated from the academy set up at The City Ground back in 2005 and went on to make 15 appearances at senior level for the club.
Bastians currently plays for hometown club VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga’s second tier. The player is comfortable playing in a central defensive or midfield role or as a winger or fullback and Fulham are thought to be lining up a move for the player to help plug a defence which has the unwanted tag of being the joint second weakest in the Championship after conceding 73 goals.
While at Nottingham Forest, Bastians was often loaned out to gain first team experience and spent time on loan at no less than six lower division clubs. The player left Forest in 2008 and became something of a journeyman after moving to Switzerland to play for Young Boys before moving to Germany to spend time at SG Freiburg, Hertha BSC, Hertha BSC II and current club VfL Bochum.
Bastians has made 20 appearances for VfL Bochum this season scoring twice. The player has been at the rewirpowerSTADION since signing for the club on a permanent basis in January 2015 after a successful previous loan spell.
