Fulham manager Martin Jol has suggested that he may be in the market for Aston Villa striker Darren Bent in January.

The former Sunderland frontman has had a question mark put over his future after numerous snubs from the Villa squad by boss Paul Lambert.

"You never know, but we have three good strikers in [Dimitar] Berbatov, [Mladen] Petric and [Alexander] Kacaniklic," talkSPORT quotes Jol as saying. "We could maybe have one more creative player but you never know what will change."

Fellow Premier League outfits Queens Park Rangers and Liverpool have also been linked with the frontman.
