Premier League trio bid for Douglas

West Ham United and Fulham have emerged as rivals to Newcastle United for FC Twente defender Douglas.

The Magpies are believed to have tabled an offer for the 24-year-old, believed to be in the region of £4m.

However, Sky Sports News has reported that West Ham and Fulham have also submitted bids for the Brazilian-born centre-back.

Douglas , who will gain Dutch nationality next month, moved to the Eredivisie club in 2007 after being spotted playing in his homeland for Serie B side Joinville.
