Fulham are reportedly preparing a loan move for unsettled Marseille midfielder Morgan Amalfitano as Martin Jol looks to strengthen his squad.

Amalfitano is a full French international but has struggled to hold down a regular first-team spot at Marseille this season under new coach Elie Baup.

L'OM are thought to be ready to cut their losses on the versatile midfielder as they prepare for a return to the Champions League.

The 28-year-old turned down the chance to join Fulham two years ago but Cottagers chief scout Barry Simmonds is a long-term admirer of the winger and is prepared to recommend a second swoop this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

Morgan's younger brother Romain Amalfitano is already in the Premier League with Newcastle United and is thought to have implored his sibling to make the move to England.

Amalfitano featured largely as a substitute for Marseille this season, scoring once in 30 first-team appearances.
