FULHAM were last night poised to complete a £10million double transfer swoop.
Dutch league stars Luciano Narsingh and Oussama Assaidi are set to agree personal terms on a five-year contract after Heerenveen accepted a joint offer for the highly-rated wingers.
The pair and their Italian agent Mino Raiola were shown around Craven Cottage yesterday under a veil of secrecy.
The capture of the two rising stars is seen as a great piece of business by Fulham manager Martin Jol.
He moved swiftly to see off competition from Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven and Ajax, mega-rich Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala and Premier League rivals Everton and Newcastle.
Narsingh, 21, is tipped for a huge future and is likely to be in Holland's Euro 2012 squad.
National boss Bert van Marwijk said: "Once in a while a player catches your eye and he deserves to be in the elite group of Dutch players."
Assaidi, 23, is a Moroccan international who turned his back on the Dutch side despite having dual passports.
that would mean no chadli, and 10 million! that's all our budget gone!
From the Sun... Must be true then :011:
Of course the sun! worlds most truthful unbiased "newspaper"
Dutch reports on Twitter say that Ajax are leading the race for Narsingh, but that Jol is interested. Would be delighted if we get them - fantastic pair of wingers, with Ruiz behind a main striker. Still think we should pull out all the stops for Sigurdsson too - would fit in fantastically.

I have absolutely no idea on the authenticity of the story and I absolutely despise the Sun as a newspaper (if you can call it that) but I've always found their sport pages to be more reliable than most papers. Might be wrong though but we'll see, exciting nonetheless.

Would have to agree, I expect it's both Dempsey and Dembele to be honest. These two players indicate Jol's desire to have us playing ultimate football with two fast and tricky wingers. I expect we'll see a striker coming in, with these two (if this actually happens) and Dempsey and Dembele both to leave for two pretty substantial fees.

Whilst signing two excellent wingers is never a bad thing I do fear this may stifle Frei and Kacaniklic. Still, being linked to such highly rated players is very exciting indeed.

Fulham closing in on Dutch duo?

Herenveen wingers Narsingh and Aissaidi are reportedly on the verge of a £10m move to Fulham
This morning's newspapers suggest that Fulham are about to conclude a £10m deal to sign Herenveen's exciting wingers Luciano Narsingh and Oussama Assaidi, who are both poised to sign five-year contracts with the Premier League club.
The Eredivisie side, who turned down several serious approaches from teams both in Holland and abroad for the pair during the January transfer window, have been forced to sell their two stars after both players confirmed that they wouldn't be extending their contracts at Herenveen. With their deals due to expire next summer, Narsingh and Assaidi have generated great interest from across Europe.
Ajax are believed to be very keen on signing Narsingh, a Dutch under-21 international, who came up through their youth academy. According to reports in the Dutch press, Ajax are hoping to talk to Mino Raiola – the young winger's agent next week – although a British tabloid claims that a deal to bring the versatile and pacey wide man to London is already in place. Narsingh, who was handed a first call-up to the Dutch senior squad by national team coach Bert van Marwijk for the February friendly against England at Wembley, scored twelve goals and made 22 more in 44 appearances for Herenveen this season. He is expected to be part of van Marwijk's Euro 2012 squad even though he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
Martin Jol has also moved quickly to finalise a deal to sign Narsingh's Herenveen team-mate Assaidi, a Moroccan international who has had a big impact since joining the club from De Graafschap on the final day of the August 2009 transfer window. The 23 year-old left winger, who can also play up front, really shone in his first full season in the Eredivisie, scoring ten goals and adding fourteen assists, under new coach Ron Jans, whose influence is credited with ensuring that Assaidi rebuffed an approach from PSV Eindhoven. Aissadi scored ten goals in 23 league appearances this season as Herenveen finished fifth, just a point off qualifying for European football.
What these moves – should they go through – would mean for the Fulham future of Damien Duff as well as the first team chances of Kerim Frei and Alex Kacaniklic, so impressive in the second half of this campaign, remains to be seen.

I know you're not supposed to draw many conclusions from a youtube video, but my god. That first kid is TWENTY ONE, the video is from ONE season, shows him scoring a variety of well taken goals, he was joint top of the assist charts last year and is top of this year's. Must admit I'd never heard of him, but he looks like he could be a brilliant signing.
Better to sign players before sales in my opinion (if cashflow permits), nothing like very other club knowing we would have £20 million burning a hole in our pocket to put fees up.
Very much doubt this story is true though, because they never are.
De Telegraaf are running with this story too. Aren't their media supposed to be much more trustworthy than ours?

HEERENVEEN / LONDON - Heerenveen threatens a blow to lose his entire vanguard. Martin Jol is preparing with his club Fulham FC million deal for the two attackers Luciano Narsingh (21) and Oussama Assaidi (23) to take over. Both wing tips flew to London yesterday and spent the whole day. They were shown around at Fulham and had conversations with the agent Mino Raiola.
The departure of Bas Dost, with 32 goals scorer in the league, is also already fixed. The German Wolfsburg hopes the race for his signature to win a long line of clubs, the striker wants to buy. This is the new coach Marco van Basten faced with a busy summer. He will need to refresh the whole attack if the deal comes around.
The management of Heerenveen was aware of the first visit of Narsingh and Assaidi in England. "We have the players Mino Raiola and given space to talk,'' said technical director Johan Hansma Heerenveen. "Narsingh Assaidi and should have a good feeling at a club. It makes no sense if we reach an agreement with a club and the players do not want to go. To transfer to succeed, you have three parties.''
Only when the players out with Fulham, Martin Jol will instruct his club to reach an agreement with Heerenveen. Hansma confirms that between the English and the Frisians still not been contacted.
Package deal
That Heerenveen full cooperation indicates a departure from the wing tips has everything to do with the fact that the contract of Narsingh and Assaidi expires in 2013. If they would not be sold, they walk out the door free next summer.
Now the number five of the league a total of more than ten million requirements in the 'package deal'. Assaidi has the status of Moroccan international and Juniors-internatonal Narsingh was earlier this year selected for the match of the Dutch team at Wembley.
Ajax
Both players earlier this season switched to football agent Mino Raiola, who is also the manager Martin Jol. They were therefore accompanied by Hakim Slimani (Assaidi) and Mustapha Nakhli (Narsingh). Raiola players now trying to bring the English Premier League Club and in the case of Narsingh also keep away at Ajax.
The old boss Jol Narsingh also high on the scouting list, but is the player's visit to London is now in the waiting room. Last night both players went back to London. Today they report back to Heerenveen on the training.
The last paragraph is pretty interesting about agents and could either point to the story having legs, or being picked up as a coincidence and then turned into a story out of nothing.
These 2 wingers are CLASS!
Het Parool discusses it too. Yes, Dutch media (continental in general I'd say) are much more trustworthy than English newspapers. If you print too many rumours or stories which are not true, your sales as a newspaper will drop considerably.
The chairman of Heerenveen has said that both players were given permission to fly to London (on the request of Jol). Both players have been 'pampered' in London. Narsingh has said that he won't renew his contract at Heerenveen and so they have no option to sell him (it ends in 2013). Ajax is also interested.
My lack of knowledge about the Dutch league holds me back here but this possible transfer tells me two things:
1) Holland is to Fulham what France is to Newcastle
2) This is not necessarily bad news for Frei and Kaca - I see it more of a sign that Jol does not think they are ready to be the starting options for a full season. Plus, these players seem different from Frei who really is more of a No.10

but yeah, i agree with you on Frei and Kaca may not be ready to take on PL for the whole season. I see Frei more of AJ role than a winger though.
The two boys mentioned seem to have impressive assist stats as well.

Think he means that Fulham is undergoing a Dutch revolution under Jol, similar to Newcastle where their squad is dominated by French or French-speaking players.
I think AFC means that Fulham has been fishing in the Dutch pond for the last couple of years:
Ruiz
Dembélé
(Chadli)
Hoesen
and now these two laddies.
Note that the title of this thread is very deceptive. They are far from signing. They just came to Fulham to have a look without anything of value being discussed. In fact, both Ajax and PSV are preparing offers...

Agree. With the two Dems gone, there'd be four or five places in a matchday 16 for the four of them plus Duff and Ruiz. With injuries factored in, everyone would therefore have a decent chance of featuring, and it'd be modular, with no individual either sure of a spot or under intense pressure to be the team's saviour.
Not only are all those arrivals and departures extremely provisional, of course, but Alex K. has yet to sign to stay.

It must also be noted that if we are to challenge for European football, we need a squad of players that stretch beyond a good starting 11.

Not the first time we're linked with Assaidi:
Monday, August 29, 2011
Aston Villa and Fulham target Oussama Assaidi wants to stay in the Dutch League with Heerenveen.
The 23-year-old forward has scored two goals in his first four Eredivisie games this season, drawing attention from the Premier League pair as well as big-spending PSG and FC Twente.
But the Morocco international is not interested in a move. He told Netherlands newspaper Algemeen Dagblad: "There is nothing concrete on my sale. It is just newspaper talk
"For me, it would be better to stay here because I'm still young and then improve in a top-class league."

I see this as Jol simply planning for the future, we've probably seen the end of Duff and Davies, and yes we have Kaca and Frei but we need a squad with strength and depth like we had this season.
If we feel a bit sick at the possibility of losing Dempsey and/or Dembele, just think what Heerenveen fans must feel at the prospect of losing these two guys plus their 32 goal striker (Bas Dost - too pricey for us?). As always, it remains to be seen how they would respond to playing in a league where marking is allowed and defending actively encouraged, but it is encouraging to be linked with talent like this.
I won't be believing anything (arrivals or departures) until signatures are seen on the dotted line, but the future is exciting...the future is - what colour is that?

Whilst signing two excellent wingers is never a bad thing I do fear this may stifle Frei and Kacaniklic. Still, being linked to such highly rated players is very exciting indeed.
Frei and Kacanaklic aren't good enough to start every game, but will certainly be squad players next season. With Dempsey likely to leave and Duff no longer as effective as he was, the possible signings of Narsingh and Assaidi are exactly what we need - pace, skill and trickery down the flanks.
Narsingh would definitely be welcome. We are crying out for a right sided winger. As for Assaidi I am a little more cautious. I was hoping Frei and Kaca might break the team next season.

Not to throw cold water on anything, but Narsingh had this to say less than three weeks ago.

I'm sorry - but if you haven't seen them play, how can you say they're not worth £5m each?! From the (admittedly few) matches I've seen them in, I've been very impressed.
Now imagine if we signed Narsingh, Assaidi and Dost all at the same time. How many of Heerenveen's goals have those three contributed?

Heerenveen pair Narsingh and Assaidi close to Fulham move, says agent
Martin Jol is reportedly eager to tie up a deal for the talented Eredevisie duo ahead of next season's Premier League campaign, amid doubts over Clint Dempsey's future
9 May 2012 10:07:00
By Sean Kilgallon
Herenveen pair Luciano Narsingh and Oussama Assaidi are close to sealing moves to Fulham, according to the players' representative.
The two wingers travelled to London on Monday to take a tour of the Premier League side's stadium and training facilities.
Mino Raiola, the players' agent, has admitted that no fee has yet been agreed between the two clubs, but contract negotiations are underway.
"We have given Mino Raiola and the players the space to talk," Heerenveen technical director Johan Hansma told De Telegraaf.
"Narsingh and Assaidi had to have a good feeling with a club. It doesn't make any sense if we reach an agreement with a club and the players won't want to go there. To succeed in a transfer there are three sides needed."
Fulham are bracing themselves for bids for their prized asset Clint Dempsey, and manager Martin Jol has identified the duo as potential replacements if the USA international leaves.
Assaidi and Narsingh both have just one year left on their contracts.
The above is a more or less exact translation of the Dutch article.
"We hebben Luciano Narsingh een goede aanbieding gedaan en wachten nu op zijn reactie", aldus Frank de Boer, trainer van Ajax.
Which translates to: "We Luciano Narsingh made a good offer and are now waiting for his response," said Frank de Boer, coach of Ajax.

Ajax not giving up on Fulham target Luciano Narsingh

Ajax coach Frank de Boer isn't giving up on landing Heerenveen winger Luciano Narsingh.
The exciting midfielder visited Craven Cottage earlier this week to discuss terms with Fulham.
But Ajax are also battling for his services and De Boer said: "We made Luciano a good offer and are now waiting for his reaction."
He already tweeted he'd made an agreement with Ajax, now the clubs just have to agree the fee.

Ajax have made an offer, Heerenveen has rejected it. The player himself will only make a decision once the season ends, so says Dutch press.

Narsingh: I did not visit Fulham
It was reported that the Netherlands Under-21 international had popped up at the English outfit's ground and training facilities with team-mate Oussama Assaidi earlier in May

EXCLUSIVE
By Guus Hetterscheid
Heerenveen's Luciano Narsingh has played down reports linking him with Fulham but admitted that he is looking to put himself in the shop window in this summer's European Championship.
It has been claimed that the 21-year-old winger travelled to Craven Cottage last week with team-mate Oussama Assaidi for a guided tour of the Premier League club's ground and training facilities.
However, Narsingh, who has previously expressed his desire to join Ajax this summer, explained that his recent trip to London was purely recreational.
"I read that story, but it's not true," the Netherlands Under-21 international told Goal.com. "I was with my wife and my daughter for a holiday in London.
"I currently have no preference for a club. I will see what suits me best but the Euros would be a good platform on which to show what I can do. Every club would see you in action.
"I can say that I would like to stay in this league [Eredivisie], but if there is a real big club interested, then maybe that will change."
Narsingh has been included in his country's provisional panel for Euro 2012 and will discover on Tuesday evening if he has made Bert van Marwijk's reduced squad of 27 players.
"I'm not someone who says I should be taken, but it would be great," the attacker admitted.
"It would be a dream to play against countries such as Portugal and Germany. But I'm already very proud that I'm here.
"It is an honour to play for the Dutch team. I wanted to shine during this training camp and show what I have in my locker.
"Training went well, but I am always very critical of myself. I am not easily satisfied.
"We will see tonight if I have done enough. The choice lies with the coach. But regardless, this has been a great experience for me."
Narsingh is coming off the back of a fine season with Heerenveen, having scored eight goals in the Eredivisie and racked up 20 assists.
So the club confirmed it but Narsingh says this is not true? It's definitely true. But he thinks he's above our level. Good then, move to Ajax.

Its really frustrating that no players ever want to join Fulham. It always seems as though it is hobsons choice for players who come

Well by the sounds of things he's not coming here. One thing we can take for this is that the club is showing ambition, it has good scouts and that Mo is willing to spend money to get good players. That's all very positive.

I think it helps that he has the manager he wants too. Would you chuck a bunch of money at a player at a man suggested by a manager you didnt want, probably not. However the manager you did want suggests something, wheres the check book?

Fulham know the price for Heerenveen winger Oussama Assaidi.
The Morocco international is understood to have already held talks with Fulham and granted a tour of the club's training facilities.
Heerenveen have informed all interested clubs, which also include Espanyol, Assaidi won't be sold for less than €4 million.
€4 million seems a bit of a bargain? Wasn't it suggested by earlier speculation that it was a £10million deal for the both of them?

I hope you're right, I was never keen on these transfers.

Fulham move for Heerenveen wing duo stalls
Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 06/06/2012 - 12:05
Fulham's move for Heerenveen winger Luciano Narsingh has stalled.
Narsingh and teammate Oussama Assaidi have both visited Fulham in recent weeks to discuss a move to England.
However, their agent Mino Raiola has seen talks stall and he is now touting Narsingh to Italian clubs, says Il Tempo.
Waiting until after the Euro's at least before a decision on Narsingh. With Assaidi not so sure, would like him here though.
from video's it looks like Assaidi could have a short fuse.
