Fulham manager Jol happy if Riise stays

Fulham boss Martin Jol would be happy to keep hold of John Arne Riise.

Riise has fallen behind Kieran Richardson in the pecking order.

"John is a fantastic player and deserves to play and that was the only conversation we had," Jol said.

"If he's the second choice at this club, I'm not sure he'll be a happy customer.

"But if he stays I'll be happy because if something happens to Kieran Richardson then I have another fantastic left-back."
