Fulham close in on Australia star
Fulham are in negotiations to sign Melbourne Victory centre-back Adrian Leijer on a three-year deal, according to the Australian club.
The 21-year-old current A-League young player of the year failed to impress on trial at Everton but has been in fine form over the last two years.
"We received an offer from Fulham and the negotiations are progressing well," said Victory spokesman Gary Cole.
"The deal has not been concluded yet but I think we are pretty close."

He added: "It is a great opportunity for Adrian. Fulham is a famous club in England and in the Premier League."
Leijer has represented Australia at junior level and is likely to feature for Australia at the Olympics next year.
