Fulham have decided to double Bobby Zamora's wages according to reports. The 29-year-old marksman helped the Cottagers reach their first European final in the history of the club, and could have even been a part of England's World Cup 2010 squad if not for an Achilles problem.

The London-based club are thought to have turned away deadline day advances from Liverpool, as the Reds were on the lookout for a striker owing to the over reliance on Fernando Torres.

Ajax manager has revealed how Ajax blocked his dream return to England with Fulham. Jol, 54, had been earmarked by the Cottagers as the man to replace new Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson. Despite agreeing terms with chief executive Alistair Mackintosh, the Amsterdam giants refused to let go of their man and discuss compensation.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss admitted he had craved a return to London but this was blocked by the Ajax hierarchy.

"It was unbelievable [Fulham's interest]. I like Fulham, I like England, I like London," Jol said.

Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has distanced himself from continued speculation linking him with a summer move to Arsenal.

The veteran shot-stopper was a pivotal presence during the Cottagers' monumental run in the Europa League last season, when they made it all the way to the final of the competition.

In contrast, the inconsistent form shown by Manuel Almunia and Lucasz Fabianski for the Gunners had prompted speculation that manager Arsene Wenger could make a move for the Australia international after the World Cup.

FULHAM’S giant defender Brede Hangeland is a shock target for AC Milan – if the Italians do not land Manchester United star Nemanja Vidic.

Starsport revealed last month that AC Milan made the acquisition of a world-class centre-back their top priority over the summer – particularly if they lose Thiago Silva, 25, to Chelsea.

Vidic, 28, is the man the Rossoneri want to lead their defensive revamp and they are prepared to splash out £20m on the Serbian hardman.
