Fulham are exploring the possibility of signing Tosin Adarabioyo from Manchester City.
Scott Parker's side have shipped 11 goals in their opening four games back in the Premier League, losing every match so far.
Adarabioyo impressed with Championship side Blackburn Rovers on loan last season and is available again.

The 23-year-old is deemed surplus to requirements at City and is likely to depart the Etihad Stadium before the transfer window closes.
