Fulham are in talks with Paris Saint Germain over a loan move for French striker Hugo Ekitike.
The 21-year-old has emerged over the last 24 hours as an alternative target to Armando Broja, as Fulham are unwilling to pay the £5million loan fee being demanded by Chelsea.
PSG are understood to be willing to listen to offers for Ekitike with their priority finding the right club who will provide him with game-time over the remainder of the season rather than securing a specific loan fee.
The 21-year-old former youth international spent last season on loan at PSG from Stade Reims before completing a £24m move last summer, but has only made one appearance for Luis Enrique’s side this season.
Fulham have been monitoring Ekitike for some time and considered making a bid last summer, but were put off by PSG’s £30m-plus valuation.
