Brighton boss Gus Poyet is a shock candidate for the Fulham job.
The Sunday Mirror says after leading Brighton to the League One title the former Chelsea star's managerial talents have been widely admired. He is the shock contender on the Craven Cottage shortlist to succeed Mark Hughes, who quit last week.
Senior Fulham officials have been reviewing their options since Hughes' shock exit. Among the obvious candidates are the out of work quartet of Martin Jol, Steve McClaren, Alan Curbishley and Martin O'Neill.
Poyet is under contract with the Seagulls and has a £1.2million get-out compensation clause in his contract.
