Fulham’s search for a striker to spearhead their Premiership campaign has led to them expressing an interest in Inter Milan centre forward Hakan Sukur, according to reports from Italy.
he Turkish international looks ready to quit Giuseppe Meazza, and he has always admitted a desire to ply his trade in England, after also attracting the attention of Newcastle United boss Bobby Robson.
Indeed, Robson admitted to being close to signing the 29-year-old when he quit Galatasaray, only for Inter to win the chase for his services.
‘The Bull of the Bosphorous’ is the sort of forward that Jean Tigana has been looking for all summer – muscular and with a real physical presence.
Jan Koller opted for Borussia Dortmund, Oliver Bierhoff is still undecided over his destination and other targets have not been persuaded to put pen-to-paper at Craven Cottage.
Sukur is the freshest name in the frame and sources in Italy claim that the Londoners have already entered into negotiations with their Italian counterparts.
“I think I have to consider looking for a new club,” admitted Sukur recently. “I want to play. “The Premiership is the most exciting football in the world. “I believe that it would suit my style.”
