Fulham striker Marcello Trotta is being lined up for another loan move away from Craven Cottage, this time to League One strugglers Barnsley.

The Italy U21 international has had previous loan spells with Brentford, Watford and Wycombe in recent seasons and is ready to go out on loan again in search of more game time.

Barnsley are finding it difficult to adapt to life in League One following their relegation last season and are currently fourth from bottom in England’s third tier.

The Tykes face high-flying Rochdale on Saturday and manager Danny Wilson is keen to bolster his forward options to lift his team up the table.
