Fulham refuse to drop their interest in Southampton fullback Matt Targett.

Sky Sports says Fulham have not given up hope of signing Targett.

The Whites have had an initial £5m offer rejected by the Saints and are yet to follow up with a second approach.

Southampton are understood to want to keep Targett following his impressive stint on loan with Fulham last season.

The left-back was instrumental as they were promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs last season.
