Fulham interested in Rhodes but fee is too high

Fulham are interested in signing Jordan Rhodes from Middlesbrough but are unwilling to pay the £9m asking price.

The Whites are keen to sign a striker before next week’s transfer deadline.

They wanted to sign David Nugent from Boro but he signed for Derby County.

Head coach Slavisa Jokanovic has considered a move to re-sign Ross McCormack from Aston Villa.

But Fulham currently have no plans to bring back the Scotland international, who left them to join Villa in the summer.
