Fulham are battling a crowded field to sign off contract Chelsea attacker Salomon Kalou.

The Daily Mail says Fulham can offer Kalou regular first team football and a competitive salary plus the added bonus of not having to move house.

But the Ivory Coast international is in demand though with Liverpool and Newcastle United among his admirers here while Schalke and Hamburg have shown interest in Germany.

The main threat though may come from Turkey where Galatasaray have offered £3.5m a season in wages for the 26-year-old and his compatriot, former Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Eboue has been working hard to persuade him Turkey is the place to be.
