Fulham are plotting a January swoop for Danny Simpson after failing to Âsecure his signature last summer.
The 25-year-old sparked a flurry of speculation about his future after he rejected a fresh contract from Newcastle last season.
Simpson’s current deal runs out next summer but the Âearlier offer that he snubbed still remains on the table.
Fulham, QPR and Reading were all linked with a move for former Manchester United youngster Simpson (above) Âduring the close Âseason.
But a deal failed to Âmaterialise and Toon owner Mike Ashley may now Âdecide to cash in on his right-back, rather than Âallowing him to leave for free in the Âsummer.
The Cottagers’ interest in Manchester-born Âdefender Simpson has not diminished and boss Martin Jol could swoop.
Sources close to Simpson have indicated a switch to the capital now strongly Âappeals to the player due to his burgeoning relationship with pop star girlfriend ÂTulisa Contostavlos.
