Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is excited about their Ghanaian starlet King Gyan Osei.

The News of the World says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has despatched his scouts to watch the Ghanaian in action for Germinal Beerschot and is rumoured to have sounded out the possibility of bringing him to North London.

However, Roy Hodgson has no intention of offloading the young loanee after being impressed with his progress in the Belgian league.

It is believed the Cottagers boss is exploring the prospect of bringing King back to the club if they can secure a work permit, now he has cut his teeth abroad.
