Fulham interested in Bolton striker

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 with to sign Cardiff City defender Mark Hudson and Leeds United forward Matt Smith.

Hudson, 32, is Cardiff’s club captain, while the 25-year-old Smith has attracted interest from a number of clubs.

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

Sweden international Kacaniklic, 23, has previously spent time on loan at Watford and Burnley, and the club are keen for him to continue his development elsewhere.

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.
