English Premier League side Fulham are also hopeful of agreeing terms with Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng.

The 29-year-old is valued around £2 million and could be set for a move to Craven Cottage after a summer deal fell through.

Boateng has been on the fringes at Ukrainian side FC Dnipro where he has made two appearances this season.

The former Gatafe player wants more game time to save his international career.

Struggling Aston Villa are reported to be interested in the Ghana international.

Boateng has played at 8 different clubs in 7 different leagues and has 40 International caps to his name.

He is a member of Ghana’s provisional 26-man squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
