Fulham in Loan Bid for Real Star

Fulham are one of three Premier League sides reportedly set to battle it out for the loan services of Real Madrid winger Pedro Leon. The 24-year-old is looking to secure a move out of the Bernabeu having grown disillusioned with life under Jose Mourinho after making just ten appearances last term following his arrival from Getafe in an £8.74million deal 12 months ago. Chelsea and Hercules failed with attempts to take Leon on loan last season, while it is now being claimed that the player is looking to secure a move to England before the end of the current transfer window. And, that has seemingly alerted Cottagers chief Martin Jol, who is on the lookout for a right-sided midfielder, while Everton and Aston Villa are the other clubs being credited with an interest.
