Nigerian attacker Philip Otele, 26, is considered a hot candidate for a departure from FC Basel. Officially, FC Basel has reported muscular problems for the winger, but it's possible they just didn't want to take any risks. A move to England, where Fulham have been linked, is a possibility, but nothing has been decided yet. Otele was on the bench for the first time after seven consecutive starts but came on as a substitute in the final phase of the game. His contract with the Swiss club runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00m.
