Several sources are linking us with a transfer window swoop for the Hearts captain Christophe Berra.
Fulham apparently watched Berra play in the Edinburgh derby on Saturday and were impressed enough to consider a bid. The Mirror has the value at £2.5m. We will, apparently, have to fight off interest from Middlesbrough and Everton.
Berra might well be the back-up centre back we have been chasing but, to my mind, it seems unlikely that he would move south of the border without a guarantee of first team football to bolster his international ambitions.
I for one would love to see Berra at Fulham. I think that he would eventually make the team as first choice next to brede and would be an imposing centre back for years to come. Some young blood would be appreciated I feel, esp such a highly rared prospect at a mere £2.5 mill!
