Fulham boss Roy Hodgson will take a close look at Roma fullback John Arne Riise tonight in their Europa League clash.

The Daily Express says Hodgson fancies reuniting the Riise brothers in January, with John Arne's kid sibling Bjorn Helge already on the books at Craven Cottage.

Riise was linked with a move to Liverpool on the weekend, which he has denied in recent days.

Roma do need to sell in January to fund coach Claudio Ranieri's own transfer plans as they attempt to lift themselves away from the dropzone.
