Fulham favourites to clinch Twente's Ruiz despite Newcastle swoop

FC Twente winger Bryan Ruiz could be on his way to Fulham after the Dutch club agreed a fee, reported to be around £10million, with the Southwest Londoners.

Fulham have been keen on the 26-year old Costa Rican international during the past two weeks and it appears as though he could land at Craven Cottage despite news that Newcastle United have come in with a late bid.

Martin Jol is desperate to bring in the a quality players such as Ruiz and is reportedly working hard to pull off the coup prior to tonight's 11pm transfer deadline.
