Fulham ready to bid for Palace keeper Speroni

Fulham are ready to bid for Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni.

The Daily Star says Cottagers boss Mark Hughes has started to prepare for Mark Schwarzer's exit by lining up a second move for Crystal Palace keeper Speroni, 31.

The Argentine is stalling on a new contract and Eagles boss George Burley is willing to sell him for £750,000 in January rather than let him leave on a free next June.

Fulham made a formal approach for Speroni on the final day of the summer transfer window with a view to a £1.7m deal after it looked like Schwarzer would finally land his dream move.

But the deal fell through after he was forced to stay at Craven Cottage.
