Transfer gossip: Speculation over McCormack continues

Some of the recent transfer speculation involving Fulham.

Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday have joined Fulham in showing an interest in Ross McCormack, the Mail say.

The forward left Fulham to join Aston Villa in the summer but is unsettled in the West Midlands and has been linked with a return to Craven Cottage.

He was recently criticised by Villa boss Steve Bruce for missing training. The Mail suggest Bruce’s comments have damaged his club’s chances of recouping the reported £12m fee they paid for McCormack.
