Jol sets up double Dutch deal
Fulham,

Fulham showed Heerenveen duo Luciano Narsingh and Oussama Assaidi their facilities this week ahead of a planned summer double deal.
The two wingers travelled to London on Monday to take a tour of Craven Cottage and the club's Surrey training ground.
Fulham manager Martin Jol has identified the duo as potential replacements if USA international Clint Dempsey leaves in the summer.
The Cottagers have yet to agree terms with Heerenveen, but the Eredivisie club have given their permission for talks to get underway with the agent involved.
"We have given agent Mino Raiola and the players the space to talk," Heerenveen technical director Johan Hansma told De Telegraaf.
"Narsingh and Assaidi had to have a good feeling with a club. It doesn't make any sense if we reach an agreement with a club and the players won't want to go there. To succeed in a transfer there are three sides needed."
Assaidi, 23, and Narsingh, 21, both have just one year left on their contracts.
Narsingh has also caught the attention of PSV and Ajax, with Heerenveen having rejected a first offer from the Amsterdam giants.
