Fulham interested in Bolton’s Beckford

By

Fulham have made an approach to Bolton for striker Jermaine Beckford.

The 30-year-old Jamaica international, from Ealing, previously played in west London for Wealdstone before spells with Leeds, Everton and Leicester.

Fulham are also in talks to sign Leeds United forward Matt Smith, 25, who has attracted interest from a number of clubs.

However they have missed out on Cardiff City captain Mark Hudson, 32, who has joined Huddersfield Town.

The Whites are attempting to offload Bryan Ruiz, Fernando Amorebieta and Hugo Rodallega on deadline day, while Alexander Kacaniklic has left the club on loan.

Costa Rica international Ruiz, 29, spent the majority of last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven, while defender Amorebieta and Rodallega are not part of manager Felix Magath’s plans.

Rodallega has started just once in the Championship this season and Amorebieta is yet to feature at all.
