Ivan Cavaleiro

Ivan Cavaleiro is a forward who is currently playing for Fulham. He is a winger who is comfortable on either flank and was brought in under Scott Parker in July 2019 on loan, before making the move permanent the following January. He has represented Portugal at full international level.

Fulham (2019-present)
Ivan signed for Fulham on 13 July 2019 on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers, though this move was made permanent the following transfer window on 7 January 2020. He made his debut in the Championship opener on 3 August 2019 away at Barnsley. Opening his goalscoring account away to Huddersfield Town, Ivan went on to score 6 league goals in 46 appearances in his first season with the club, helping to earn promotion via the Play-offs in the COVID-affected 2019-20 season.

Despite some underwhelming displays throughout 2020-21 in the Premier League, manager Scott Parker would often prefer to use Ivan in the unfamiliar role of centre forward, leaving out Aleksandar Mitrović as a result. This did not go down well amongst may Fulham fans, especially during a time where goals were not a regular occurance. Ivan managed just 3 goals and Fulham were once again relegated back to the Championship.

He begun life under new manager and fellow compatriot Marco Silva with seemingly new vigour and scored two brilliant goals after coming on as a substitute during a 5-1 thrashing away at Huddersfield Town in the second week of the season.
