Fulham are ready to offload striker Andy Johnson in the New Year.

The Sunday Mirror says Johnson has been told he can leave Fulham when the January transfer window opens for around £2million if he fails to agree a new two-year deal at Craven Cottage.

The 30-year-old striker is out of contract at the end of the season and has already rejected an initial offer on significantly reduced terms.

He is currently earning £40,000 a week, including appearance bonuses.

All of which has alerted QPR, Sunderland and Leicester, who are prepared to meet Fulham's price and pay Johnson a salary in comparison to his current terms.
