Spanish side, Osasuna, are poised to make a move for Fulham winger Hameur Bouazza in the coming weeks. The Algerian international who moved to Craven Cottage last season from Watford was a regular under previous coach, Lawrie Sanchez. However, since Roy Hodgson took charge in late December, Bouazza has started just two games.

Fulham are adamant on recouping a considerable portion of the $6 million they spent on him last summer, and Osasuna are amongst a number of clubs eager to tempt the pacy player away from South West London. The Basque side are yet to make a concrete offer, but they will seek to move quickly to match Fulham’s asking price as Espanyol – home of Cameroon goalkeeper Carlos Kameni – are also thought to be keen admirers of Bouazza. He could also opt to remain in England with Wigan one of the clubs in contention for his signature.
