Fulham forwards Carlos Vinicius and Rodrigo Muniz are the subject of serious interest from their homeland ahead of the January transfer window, according to reports from Brazil.

Brazilian clubs are considering tabling offers for both back-up Fulham strikers with the Whites planning to strengthen their attacking options in the new year. Brazilian football correspondent Eduardo Gabardo reported today that Brasileirao leaders Palmeiras are looking to sign Vinicius, who has made just two Premier League starts with Marco Silva preferring Raul Jimenez up front. The former Tottenham striker has scored twice this term – once in the League Cup against Norwich City and scoring the only game in a tense victory over Luton Town.

Muniz, currently sidelined by a knee injury that curtailed an impressive start against Manchester United before the international break, is attracting attention from Gremio and Atletico Mineiro. The former Flamengo centre forward has scored just once – against Ipswich in the League Cup – in eight appearances and was heavily linked with a move away from Craven Cottage during the summer.
