Fulham accept bid from Villa for McCormack

Fulham have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for Ross McCormack.

A number of other Championship clubs have shown an interest in the 29-year-old striker and Norwich City recently had a bid for him rejected.

But Fulham confirmed on Wednesday morning that an offer has been accepted from Villa, who are now set to discuss personal terms with the player.

McCormack has made 100 appearances since a big-money move to Craven Cottage from Leeds United two years ago.

He scored 23 goals last season and has netted 42 for Fulham in total.
