The clubs have been continuing negotiations since January after the Dutch side rejected Fulham's offers for the USA international. Pepi suffered a fractured arm earlier this year but has returned to action and is poised to be called up by Mauricio Pochettino for USA's World Cup squad. The 23-year-old is expected to have a medical prior to the deal being finalised. Fulham have agreed around £31m initially with bonuses and a sell-on percentage to follow. Pepi was a target for Fulham in January and has impressed with eight goals in 10 PSV games Pepi has scored 13 goals this season, including eight in his last 10 games. Manager Marco Silva was keen to add Pepi in January and while disappointed that they missed out, Fulham have persisted in a bid to get their man. Silva has still to commit to a new contract while Fulham anticipate changes to their attack with questions over the futures of Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz while Harry Wilson is out of contract and a target for Aston Villa and Everton.
