Galatasaray are closing on a deal for Fulham midfielder Jean Michael Seri.

Fanatik says Gala are prepared to take Seri on-loan in January.

Not registered for the Premier League this season, there were hopes Fulham would release Seri from his contract.

But expectations are now that Gala will cough up a nominal fee to re-sign Seri on a six-month loan.

The Ivory Coast midfielder has resisted offers from across Europe to keep himself clear for a return to Istanbul.
