Danish champions FC Midtjylland are closing in on a two-year deal to sign Kevin Mbabu from Fulham.

The Swiss international right-back has not been given a squad number at Craven Cottage this summer, and was made available for sale.

Standard Sport understands talks between the two clubs ran smoothly and Mbabu is set to leave Fulham before the close of the Danish transfer window. He is due to fly to Denmark on Thursday for a medical.

Mbabu's Fulham Struggles

Mbabu joined Fulham from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in July 2022 but has made just seven senior appearances for the Cottagers, despite featuring regularly for the Swiss national team in that time.

The 29-year-old joined Swiss side Servette on loan last February until the end of the 2022/23 season and spent last term in Germany with Augsburg.

Previous Clubs and International Career

He formerly represented Newcastle from 2013 to 2017 and has earned 24 caps for Switzerland since making his senior international debut in September 2018.

A New Start in Denmark

Mbabu's move to Midtjylland represents a fresh start for the defender, who will be hoping to rediscover his form and regain his place in the Swiss national team. He will be hoping to contribute to Midtjylland's success in the Danish Superliga and the UEFA Europa Conference League.

A Transfer Window Filled With Surprises

The transfer window has been a busy one, with a number of high-profile players moving clubs. The deadline day saw a flurry of activity as clubs scramble to complete deals before the clock strikes midnight. One of the most surprising moves was the departure of Kevin Mbabu from Fulham. The Switzerland international's time at Craven Cottage has been difficult, but his move to FC Midtjylland could prove to be a turning point in his career.

A Look Back at The Deadline Day

The deadline day was filled with drama, as teams tried to finalize last-minute deals. There were some big-money moves, such as the £25 million transfer of Aaron Ramsdale from Arsenal to Southampton. However, there were also some smaller deals that could have a big impact on the season ahead. One such deal was the move of Kevin Mbabu from Fulham to FC Midtjylland. This move could be a chance for Mbabu to resurrect his career and prove his worth as a defender. The deadline day was a reminder that the transfer window is never dull and always full of surprises.
