Fulham boss Roy Hodgson won't rule out a shock move to take over the reigns of Norway's national team.

He is now understood to be the Norwegian FA's top target.

Norway skipper Brede Hangeland plays for Fulham and FA bigwigs were keen to talk to Hodgson when they visited the defender this week.

And with 18 months left on his current deal, Hodgson - who managed in Norway and speaks the lingo - admits he would be interested.

He said: "No one has been in touch but it's a job that would interest me if I was free.

"At the moment I'm contracted to Fulham, so if they're looking for someone now I think my situation would rule me out.

"I enjoy my job here at Fulham but you can never be certain what tomorrow brings."
