According to the Daily Mirror, Fulham scouts were their to watch Bennacer at the African Cup of Nations this week as Algeria drew their opening game 1-1 with Angola. Bennacer started the game and game off in the second half.
The midfielder has made five Serie A appearances for Milan this season so far having just recovered from the knee surgery that he underwent towards the end of last season.
The 26-year-old returned to a starting spot in the holding midfield role upon making his return, but it wasn’t long before Milan lost him again because of having to answer the call from his country.
Bennacer joined Milan in 2019 from Empoli and has become one of their most important performers since arriving, while he has also amassed 46 caps for his country and was voted player of the tournament in the last African Cup of Nations.
It is likely the Milan would command a sizeable fee for Bennacer while his willingness to move from playing Champions League football to joining Fulham would also need to be assessed.
