Fulham table bid for defender Mancienne

Fulham have made a bid for Nottingham Forest’s former Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne.

Whites boss Kit Symons is still keen to bring in another centre-back before next week’s transfer deadline, despite recently signing Tim Ream from Bolton.

Mancienne, 27, joined Forest from Hamburg last summer and played 38 times in all competitions last season.[phone][/phone]

The Feltham-born former England Under-21 international has also been at QPR, making a total of 61 appearances during two spells on loan at Loftus Road from Chelsea.

He made six first-team appearances for the Blues before moving to Germany in 2011.
