Fulham boss Mark Hughes is moving for Aston Villa fullback Luke Young.
Hughes is set to approve a transfer initiated by Roy Hodgson for Villa right-back Young.
Liverpool manager Hodgson also tried to then take Young with him to Anfield but the defender rejected the switch in a bid to move back to London.
Ex-Spurs trainee Young, 31, is expected to compete with John Paintsil for the full-back berth at the Cottage and can also play left-back.
