Liverpool eye Fulham ace

Fulham are closing in on a £3.5m transfer of Twente's Nacer Chadli which in turn could see Moussa Dembele move to Liverpool.

Dembele, who joined Fulham from AZ in 2010, is the subject of strong interest from both Liverpool and Spurs and could be allowed to leave if the bidding tops £10million this summer. Spurs will be in the driving seat if they can ensure Champions League qualification at the end of the season but Liverpool will also fancy their chances of landing him especially if they win two trophies this campaign. Chadli appears to be the ready-made replacement for the Belgian winger and is keen to follow Dembele to Fulham, according to the player's agent. The 22-year-old has been linked with a move away from De Grolsch Veste after attracting interest from some of Europe's top clubs - including Benfica. Daniel Evrad, Chadli's agent, said: "He has a 99 per cent chance of leaving with Fulham his destination."
