Marcus Bettinelli Close to Signing Improved Contract at Fulham After England Call-Up

England goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli will put pen to paper on a new long-term contract with Fulham after re-establishing himself as the club's first choice shot-stopper this season, according to reports.

The 26-year-old looked like he would be fazed out of the club when Fabri and Sergio Rico moved to Craven Cottage during the summer transfer window, arriving from Turkish giants Beu015fiktau015f and Spanish outfit Sevilla respectively.

However, Bettinelli has continued to fight for his place in Fulham's first team and he has since been rewarded with seven consecutive Premier League appearances, in two of which he's worn the captain's armband in Tom Cairney's absence.
