Liverpool are weighing up a move for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha after his impressive first season in the Premier League.

The Portugal international has been a huge reason why Fulham are sat comfortably in the top half of the season after being tipped to be battling the drop at the start of the campaign.

Reporting for the Mail, Sami Mokbel said: “Liverpool are understood to be the most serious suitor but there are others."

The London-based journalist added: “Fulham are confident that they can keep Palhinha for a least one more year – but interest is growing."

Manchester United have also been linked with Palhinha in recent days.
