£3 million bid supposedly tabled and Malbranque targetted

Our continued pursuit of Swiss starlet Pajtim Kasami of Palermo is rumoured to have taken a new turn with Martin Jol making an official offer, following up from an initial enquiry while Steed Malbranque may make a return to SW6.

Kasami is said to be very open to a move to London, broadening his footballing horizons whilst leaving a side where he is currently failing to make an impact. The 19 year old may well be out of the side in Italy, but all parties are still aware of an abundance of talent in the international youngster and Fulham look set to pounce on the opportunity, with Palermo very willing to listen to offers.

Meanwhile, The People are reporting that Jol wants to reunite not only himself, but Fulham, with Sunderland midfielder Steed Malbranque. The Frenchman was something of a fan favourite over the Tigana years and, despite his declining age, our new manager still sees some useful attributes in the former Tottenham man. Any proposed fee should not be high, but Blackburn and QPR provide competition for his signature.
