Fulham are hoping to beat Tottenham to the signing of Inter Milan centre back Milan Skriniar in a stunning deal that would smash their all-time transfer record.
Scott Parker's side have struggled at the start of their Premier League return and have conceded at least three goals in all of their opening three top-flight matches.
A centre back is top of their wishlist as they bid to avoid instant relegation back to the second tier, and reports claim that they have now entered the race for Skriniar.
The Sun report that Fulham are hoping to beat their London rivals Tottenham to the signing, with Spurs willing to offer between £30million and £35m for the defender.
