In Focus: Southampton to be frustrated in Fredericks pursuit

According to TEAMtalk, Southampton have been told that Fulham will not be selling Ryan Fredericks during the latter stages of the January transfer window.

What's the story?

Southampton, along with fellow Premier League club Swansea City, have been credited with an interest in Fredericks in recent days.

It had been thought that the Saints – who are expected to be active over the next 24 hours or so – were preparing a move for the 25-year-old, who will be out of contract this summer.

However, according to TEAMtalk, Fulham are ready to activate a 12-month extension on the defender's contract, and have told Southampton that the player is not for sale.

Fredericks has made 29 appearances in all competitions for Fulham this season, with the former England Under-19 international forging an impressive career since leaving Tottenham Hotspur.

What is currently happening at St Mary's?

Southampton have money to spend following the £75m sale of Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool earlier this month.

The Saints have managed to get a deal for Monaco forward Guido Carrillo over the line, but  it is understood that a move for Spartak Moscow's Quincy Promes has gone cold as the attacker is reportedly holding out for a bigger club.

It would be a major blow if Mauricio Pellegrino's side failed to get a deal for Promes over the line at this stage of the window.

Southampton are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions, but they have not won in the Premier League since the end of November.

They will host Brighton & Hove Albion in the league on Wednesday night, and the club's supporters will be hoping that at least one more new face has arrived before the January window slams shut.

However, it seems that Fredericks, who is valued at £1.8m by transfermarkt.co.uk, will not be the player in question.

Transfer Talk: Ibrahima Cisse linked with loan away from Fulham

The 23-year-old singed for the club in the summer but has been linked with a loan move away from the Cottage

Ibrahima Cisse has been linked with a loan move away from Fulham by the Belgian press .

The 23-year-old only signed from Standard Liege in the summer, but has barely featured for the club, with Slavisa Jokanovic preferring to use his trusted midfield three, as well as Oliver Norwood, to the Belgian midfielder.

He signed a three-year deal, but reports in his come country have linked him with a move to Royal Antwerp.

However, it seems that the club want Cisse to stay closer to London if he was to move on loan - something which remains unclear at the moment.

Meanwhile, Fulham have also been linked with Watford striker Stefano Okaka , while Tayo Edun has been made available for loan .

Watford striker Stefano Okaka set for surprise loan move to Championship side

Fulham are set to sign Watford striker Stefano Okaka on loan, as per a report by Get West London.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic is keen to get a deal done for the Italy international before the transfer window slams shut on Wednesday.

Okaka has played for Fulham before on loan in 2010 from Roma. He looks set for a return to Craven Cottage eight years later if the Whites can get the move over the line.

Fulham are on great form at the moment and are currently in the Play-Offs. They are now being tipped for a promotion push, like they had last season, and they are keen to bring Okaka in to bolster their attacking options.

The 28 year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Watford this season. Their new manager, Javi Gracia, has come in and will allow Okaka to leave on loan as he feels they have enough options going forward. This frees him up for a loan move but it looks like he will be staying in London if Fulham get their man.

Okaka would be a great signing for Fulham. He is vastly experienced and has made just under 300 career appearances. He started his career at Roma but never broke into their first-team and had loan spells at Modena, Brescia, Fulham and Parma. Permanent moves to Parma and Sampdoria followed before he signed for Anderlecht in 2015.

He was prolific in Belgium, scoring 17 goals for Anderlecht in his only season at the club, before being signed by Watford in 2016. He has been a decent signing for the Hornets but has struggled to nail down a first-team spot. A loan move to Fulham would be a great opportunity for him to get some game time.

22 Y/O Fulham Midfielder Set For A Move To Scottish Premiership Club: Should Jokanovic Let Him Leave?

Fulham are set to lose their midfielder George Williams to Scottish Premiership side St. Johnstone before the transfer window comes to a close at the end of this month. According to recent reports in the Scottish press, the Saints are closing in on a move for the Cottagers midfielder and could secure his services before the transfer deadline. St. Johnstone manager Tommy Wright is on the lookout for some new additions to his squad before Wednesday's deadline after not tasting victory at home since September which has led to his side sitting just three points off the relegation play-off.

Some sources in the Scottish media are claiming that the 22-year-old midfielder is close to making a move to Scotland. It is believed that Tommy Wright is close to reaching an agreement with Fulham for the Welsh talent and his transfer could be sealed within the next 48 hours.

The Northern Irishman has made it clear in recent weeks that his team requires some reinforcements in the January transfer window, especially after the transfer of Michael O'Halloran to Rangers earlier this month. His side suffered a bitter defeat to Partick Thistle on Saturday which indicated how much his squad needs a new makeover. It is highly likely that the Saints will make three more additions before the end of the current transfer period.



Williams could be the first to arrive on a loan deal until the end of the season. The winger has seven international caps for his nation but has failed to feature for the Fulham senior team this season. He has fallen out of favour after returning from his loan spell at MK Dons in the summer. The 22-year-old made his Wales debut four years ago after coming through their youth ranks and his last international cap was in his country's match against Northern Ireland in 2016. The midfielder has played in 6 matches for Fulham in the Premier League 2 and the EFL trophy, scoring 4 goals and providing one assist this season.

It is clear that his talents are getting wasted at Craven Cottage and a move might be beneficial for all parties. The Cottagers are currently occupying 6th place in the Championship standings, five points behind an automatic promotion spot and second-placed Derby County. They have done well in the league recently and are well in contention to secure a playoff spot at the end of the season.

The departure of Williams could leave them a bit vulnerable to cope with injuries but if they can find a suitable replacement for the player, there is no reason why this move won't benefit both the clubs and the player. Only time will tell what lies ahead in the future of Williams.

West Ham have £17m offer rejected

West Ham United have had a £17 million bid for Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney rejected, according to The Guardian.

Hammers boss David Moyes is seeking reinforcements after his squad was hit by a number of injuries.

With Marko Arnautovic, Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll and Manuel Lanzini all unavailable, the West Ham manager wants to sign a forward before the transfer window closes.

However, he also has set his sights on adding to his midfield, where he is currently missing Cheikhou Kouyate, Edmilson Fernandes and Pedro Obiang.

Moyes is short of West Ham options and running out of time as the January window comes to an end.

Reports claim the Hammers boss has made approaches for several players including Joe Allen, Harry Arter, Leander Dendoncker, Graziano Pelle and Morgan Schneiderlin as well as Cairney.

The Fulham man has made 18 appearances for his club this season in all competitions, scoring three goals.

Moyes is keen for his fellow Scot to join him at West Ham, but the Cottagers seem determined to hang on to their highly rated 27-year-old.

Fulham signed Cairney from Hull for a fee of £2.8 million in June 2015 and he has a contract until the end of the 2021 season.

Whether Moyes makes a renewed bid may depend what progress he makes with other players.

For example, if Everton are holding out for a fee of £24 million for Schneiderlin, as Sky Sports claim, West Ham may decide instead that an improved offer for Cairney may be a better way to spend the money.

The Scotland international would be able to slot in to an attacking midfield position left vacant by Lanzini's injury while also offering cover for right and central midfield roles.

Nevertheless, Fulham may still decide they do not want the player to leave and force Moyes and West Ham to continue looking elsewhere.

Stefano Okaka: Watford forward's Fulham move in the balance with Italian's future still unknown



Watford forward Stefano Okaka's proposed move to Fulham hangs in the balance with the Italian himself unsure of his own future.

For the second transfer window in a row, Okaka is subject of a late loan bid from a Championship side - with the Cottagers following Wolves' lead in August.

The striker himself turned down the Midlands club on that occasion, and he is still not entirely sold on spending the rest of the season in the Championship.

If a move doesn't materialise, he may find himself with some playing time at Watford - Okaka has featured in each of the past three games for the Hornets, and came on at half-time in Javi Gracia's first match at Southampton on Saturday.

The 28-year-old found himself out in the cold under Marco Silva earlier in the season, but always maintained there had been no falling out between the pair despite the head coach's claims.

But Silva was later forced to reintegrate his exiled forward with the squad when Troy Deeney spent seven games suspended over the winter months.

Odds drift on West Ham signing Fulham's Tom Cairney as club stick to their 'no outs' stance

The bookies believe that Tom Cairney will be staying at Fulham this January

The odds on West Ham signing Fulham captain Tom Cairney have drifted, according to Sky Bet.

The betting company were offering odds of 13/8 for the skipper to swap Craven Cottage for the London Stadium, but the odds have now drifted to 11/4 after the club rejected another bid for him, this time of £18m.

He was 4/9 to stay at Fulham on Sunday , but is now priced at 1/4 on, with the bookies believing he's going nowhere.

Fulham have been adamant all January that none of their star players would be sold, and have warded off interest in Ryan Sessegnon and Ryan Fredericks since the window opened on January 1.

Cairney didn't travel with Fulham to Barnsley, but Slavisa Jokanovic confirmed that he missed the trip as he continued his rehab from a knee injury that has plagued him all season.

Reading FC fan Johnny Hunt will walk from Madejski Stadium to Craven Cottage

A DEDICATED Reading FC fan is set to walk from Madejski Stadium to Craven Cottage to raise vital cash for charity.

Johnny Hunt will take on the 60-mile scenic trek in time for Royals' clash with Fulham in London on Tuesday, April 10.

Mr Hunt, a nurse, is raising cash for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), a suicide prevention charity.

"Mental health is something that's important to me," said Mr Hunt.

"I know lots of people who have been affected by it.

"It's a big subject and it is a taboo subject. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 45.

"One in four people suffer from mental health problems, if you put that into the context of a football team that's four players."

He was inspired by a group of Fulham fans who took on a similar challenge last year.

The trip, organised by Cottagers fan Lee Adams, raised more than £8,000.

And Mr Adams will join Mr Hunt, who will travel to the UK from his home in Wicklow, Ireland, for the return leg.

"When I saw the Fulham fans doing it I got in touch and said well why don't we do the return leg as a bit of competition," said Mr Hunt, 46.

"If you break a leg you talk about it but if you are suffering from depression or anxiety it is very much pushed under the carpet.

"I just want to raise awareness and support. If I can raise £3,000 I will be happy."

The group will set off from Madejski Stadium on Monday, April 9 and hope to arrive at Craven Cottage in time for kick-off the following evening.

"I might need to cut down on a beer or two before the walk," quipped Mr Hunt.

Kevin McDonald expects his Fulham team to deal with the pressure of being in the top six

Fulham leapfrogged Sheffield United into the top six and McDonald now expects his side to do everything to stay there

Kevin McDonald expects himself and his Fulham team mates to deal with the pressure of being in the top six after breaking into the Play-off places at the weekend.

Three second-half goals meant that the Cottagers leapfrogged Sheffield United, who play tonight, into the top six as they beat Barnsley 3-1, with the stand-in skipper getting that all important second goal.

As opposed to last season, where Fulham broke into the top six late on, it now means Slavisa Jokanovic's side are there to be shot at, and have become the hunted rather than the hunters, but McDonald has said he expects his side to deal with the pressures being in the top six brings.

He said: "It's one of them, if we want to get into the top six and get promoted, we need to do it, whether that's first ten games of the season, middle of the season or last ten games, we need to get in there and deal with the pressure of being in there, it's as simple as that.

"We're in there now and hopefully we can stay in there, keep our run going and stay in there.

"We knew coming into the game today that if we won we were in the play-off places, I said before the game and at half time that we needed to do anything possible to win the game, simple as that, we need to put our body on the line, as simple as that.

"I really feel that we did that, especially second half, first half we managed to grind it out and luckily we came in at 1-0 because it could've easily been two or three nil so we done well to stay at 1-0 and it was a big second half performance."

The 29-year-old was full of praise for two-goal man Ryan Sessegnon after the game, and spoke of his 'unbelievable' positioning.

Fulham discussing potential deal to sign Stefano Okaka from Watford


Stefano Okaka has struggled for first-team games at Watford this term

Fulham are discussing a potential deal to sign Stefano Okaka from Watford, Sky Sports News understands.

The Whites are hoping to bolster their attacking options before Wednesday's transfer deadline and Italian Okaka has been struggling for first-team games at Vicarage Road.

The 28-year-old, who signed for the Hornets from Anderlecht in 2016, previously spent time on loan at Fulham in 2010, scoring twice in 11 Premier League appearances.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has been at odds with his club's hierarchy over transfers this month, wanting them to sign a new centre-back, left-back and striker.

The west London club have already landed Southampton left-back Matt Targett on loan, while they are prepared to let Tayo Edun, George Williams, Cameron Humphrys and Mattias Kait out on loan, and find another club for Porto loanee Rafa Soares.

Stefano Okaka: Fulham presented with £2 million loan fee for backup Watford striker Stefano Okaka


Stefano Okaka has scored five goals in 18 months for Watford, but none since the opening day of the season. Picture: Action Images

Watford owner Gino Pozzo is frantically trying to get third-choice striker Stefano Okaka off the books - but is asking suitors Fulham to stump up £2 million in loan fees for the Italian.

Okaka himself is stuck in the middle and has little idea where he will be spending the rest of the season, but staff above the now departed head coach Marco Silva have wanted him gone for some time.

Watford spent £6 million on the forward to bring back to England from Anderlecht in 2016, six years after a loan spell with the Cottagers from Roma, his first professional club.

In the grand scheme of things, £2 million will not present a massive drop in the ocean for Fulham. But to pay that amount for a half-season loan of a player who has barely featured all season may put them off the idea.

Omogbehin: On The Front Foot

Fulham's Under-18s were knocked out of the quarter-final of the Premier League Cup on Saturday morning in their away trip to Everton.

"Up until they scored the second goal, Everton weren't getting out of their half," commented Head Coach Colin Omogbehin on his team's second half performance.

"We applied a lot of pressure without any real penetration, but we controlled the tempo and the possession throughout the game."

This loss came on the back of another defeat at Southampton, where the performance was deemed not good enough by Omogbehin. Asked whether there was an improvement, he said:

"I was very happy with the team's performance this week. In the first half the boys were getting up against people, being in the positions to deal with all their threats.

"Whereas last week I thought we sat off, this time we were on the front foot more which put us in the position to nick the ball and go forward and create attacks on turnovers.

"When we were building play we had people who were prepared to go and get the ball and play through lines and into spaces so it was a lot better all round."

The Under-18s are out of the Premier League Cup, however are still in the prestigious FA Youth Cup Fifth Round when they travel to Plymouth.

"It is all part of the boys development to come into cup competitions," he said. "To be fighting for points in the league, it is all part of their learning.

"So there is still loads to play for this season. Naturally we are disappointed because I thought we gave a good account of ourselves, maybe we could have worked their keeper a bit more if I am being critical.

"Like I said, I'm very happy with the performance the boys put in despite the result."

Fulham next host Reading at Motspur Park on Saturday morning.

Grant: Buckle Down

Fulham's Under-23s suffered their first league defeat in 10 on Monday evening as they lost away 2-1 to West Bromwich Albion.

"We deserved to win the game" commented PL2 Head Coach Peter Grant. "We were excellent in periods in very trying conditions, it was a difficult pitch.

"I can understand why West Brom play the way they did, they made it difficult for us, but I thought we created chances without really working the goalkeeper as much as we should have.

"We got a lot of balls into the box but the final part wasn't excellent, we should have seen the game out, once we went 1-0 in-front there should have only been one winner.

"We lost by two goals in the end, a set play in the box we didn't deal with it and it cost us dearly. I said that was the only way I could see the opposition scoring, from set plays and that happened with two of them. 

"I'm disappointed by that, but there were some excellent performances in difficult conditions.

"Luca de la Torre was excellent. To be fair to the young boys, Jayden Harris and Tyrese Francois, I thought they were fantastic after playing 90 minutes for the Under-18s on Saturday at Everton.

"So it was difficult for them but they acquitted themselves very well indeed, great to see Luca playing, and also Marlon Fossey got 60 minutes in the game. So those were the positives, the negative was obviously the result."

It was only the Baggies' second league win of the season as they played a more direct style of football.

"They're a big side," he said. "They lump balls into the box with no fineness, and it was the only way I could see them scoring, the boys dealt with it well for big periods of the match. Unfortunately, at the most crucial time it cost us.

"The boys have done excellently for the last 10 games. If there is a way I wanted to lose, I'd rather someone outplayed us and out thought us, or created better chances than us, that wasn't the case today."

Fulham are back in action this week as they play Blackburn Rovers at Motspur Park.

"We will buckle ourselves down and start again, that is the beauty of football. We know what we have to do.

"Blackburn gave us a bit of a doing up there, they put us under pressure, we didn't have a few people available to us in that particular game and there were a few things that went their way as well. We know what we are up against, a very physical side that don't ask anyone questions.

"They put the ball forward and we have to match that. We will want to get the ball down and create chances. If we match their commitment with guile, I expect us to do well."

Swansea City and Fulham consider moves for Joshua Brenet but PSV Eindhoven are desperate to keep the £4m-rated defender until the summer

    PSV star Joshua Brenet is the subject of interest from Swansea City and Fulham
    But PSV are desperate to keep hold of the full back for the rest of the season
    The 23-year-old, who is valued at £4m, has been capped twice by Holland

Premier League Swansea and Championship side Fulham are considering moves for PSV Eindhoven full back Joshua Brenet but may have to wait until the summer to sign the Dutchman.

Brenet came close to a January move from Holland to Spanish side Sevilla.

But the transfer has fallen through and PSV manager Phillip Cocu now wants the defender to stay at the club for the rest of the season.


PSV Eindhoven star Joshua Brenet is the subject of interest from Swansea City and Fulham

Brenet, 23, played home and away in the Champions League for PSV against Manchester United in 2015 and has been monitored for some time by European clubs.

Watford and Fiorentina have previously tracked the defender.

Swansea and Fulham continue to be kept abreast of developments for the £4million-rated defender but PSV boss Cocu considers Brenet a crucial member of his squad.

PSV sit seven points clear at the top of the Dutch league and Cocu sees Brenet as essential to the team's title hopes.

Transfer Talk: Former Fulham man Ashkan Dejagah linked with Nottingham Forest move

The Iranian wants to force his way back into the national team ahead of the World Cup

Former Fulham man Ashkan Dejagah has been linked with a move to Nottingham Forest.

The 31-year-old has been looking for a club since the summer, having been released by Wolfsburg at the end of last season, featuring just twice for the German side in his last season there.

He joined Fulham in 2012, signing from Wolfsburg and was voted as Fan's Player of the Season at the end of the 2013-14 season, but left to join Al Arabi in 2014.

Dejagah is in need of first team football if he wants to make the Iran squad for the World Cup, and although he has been linked with moves back to his homeland, the Iranian would rather stay in Europe.

Report: Fulham and Swansea considering late moves for PSV's Joshua Brenet

The PSV Eindhoven ace is a reported transfer target for Swansea City and Fulham.

According to the Daily Mail, Fulham and Swansea are considering late moves for PSV Eindhoven full back Joshua Brenet, but with such little time remaining to get a deal over the line, any potential transfer might have to wait until the summer.

Both the Cottagers and the Swans are desperately trying to bolster their ranks, for very different reasons.

Swansea currently sit rock-bottom of the Premier League table, and are three points adrift of safety, although they could vastly improve their position with a win over Arsenal tonight.

Fulham, meanwhile, are right in the mix for the promotion places, and currently sit in sixth spot in the Championship table.

The Daily Mail claim that both sides are considering making a late swoop for the 23-year-old, who is available for round £4 million, but they might have left it too late to complete a deal for him.

Brenet would represent a fantastic signing for either club.

The Dutchman is extremely quick, and plays with a positional sense that defies his tender years.

He is as much of a threat going forward as he is solid defensively, and he would surely turn out to be a brilliant signing for whichever club wins the race for his signature.
