Fulham closing in on double French swoop
Posted Saturday, December 31, 2011 by Talksport.co.uk
Fulham are closing in on a loan deal for Marseille forward André-Pierre Gignac and could bid for his international team-mate Guillaume Hoarau, according to reports in France.
French radio station RMC SPORTS have reported that an agreement has been reached between Fulham and Marseille that will see Gignac move to Craven Cottage until the end of the season, with an option for the Londoners to make the move permanent for a fee of £6.7m.
The same station has also suggested that Fulham have enquired about Paris St-Germain striker Guillaume Hoarou, but any move for the 27-year-old is unlikely to take place before the French side confirm Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager.
With Martin Jol rumoured to have fallen out with Bobby Zamora, and Andy Johnson set to leave in January, moves for Gignac and Hoarou would certainly provide a much-needed attacking boost for the Craven Cottage club.
