Fulham are planning a £2.5million raid for Standard Liege midfielder William Vainqueur, according to Sporting Life.

The Frenchman progressed through the youth system at Nantes and made his senior debut during the 2006/07 Ligue 1 season.

He left France for Belgium in August 2011, signing a five-year contract with Liege, but Craven Cottage manager Jol is desperate to bolster his squad in the January transfer window.

Vainqueur’s agent Nico Vaesen said: “Fulham’s style suits. They’ve a Dutch coach who likes a passing game.”
