Fulham in talks to sign Burak Yilmaz

Fulham are in negotiations with Turkish club Trabzonspor to sign striker Burak Yilmaz.

Manager Martin Jol is eyeing up the forward as a potential replacement for Andy Johnson, who is likely to exit Craven Cottage at the end of the season.

Yilmaz has 15 caps for Turkey and is rated highly by national coach Guus Hiddink, a compatriot of Jol.

He has a buyout clause on his Trabzonspor contract of around £4m, and has already agreed personal terms with Fulham, according to the Daily Mail.

Turkish sources claim that Yilmaz is close to finalising a deal keeping him at Fulham for three-years with the option of a fourth.
