Fulham are hoping they can land Aston Villa left-back Nicky Shorey on loan.
The 28-year old has fallen out of favour at Villa Park in recent times and has already had a spell with Championship club Nottingham Forest this term and it has now emerged that the Cottagers are keen to have him for a stint.
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is believed to be keen to bring in reinforcements to his defence especially with the injury to Paul Konchesky and sees Shorey as a suitable target.
