Fulham target Burak Yilmaz tells Turkish press that he believes he'll sign for Lazio

Turkish press are saying they've spoken to Burak Yilmaz whilst on his holiday in Cesme and that he's 80% sure that he'll join Lazio in the coming days. This will be a blow to Fulham as we've been rumoured to be talking to Yilmaz for some time and his agent was in London a couple of weeks ago to meet with Fulham and Spurs representatives. The fee agreed with Trabzonspor is Eu 5 million. Initally Lazio offered EU 2.2 million per annum which was rejected but they've now offered 2.5 million which the player is happy with.

Below is what he had to say:-

"I know that Trabzonspor and Lazio are still talking but I believe the outcome of these talks will be positive.To this I cannot say the deal is finished but I'm 80% sure that next season I will be playing in Italy. Within days I hope this should be finalised"

I'm sure we have many targets up our sleeves but this could be potentially 2 major strike targets lost in the space of a few days.
