Fulham are keen to take Brighton midfielder Oliver Norwood on a season-long loan.

The Northern Ireland international, who made 37 appearances in Albion's promotion-winning campaign, is expected to leave the Falmer Stadium on loan in this transfer window.

Norwood is a former Manchester United trainee who joined Brighton from Reading last summer.

Fulham have been active in the summer market, signing two players so far in midfielder Ibrahima Cisse and centre-back Marcelo Djalo - the latter despite reservations from coaching staff.

The Whites are keen to add another midfielder, a left-back following the sale of Scott Malone to Huddersfield, and a striker.

Sky sources understand Fulham have agreed a £5m deal with Bordeaux to sign Diego Rolan but the player is unsure about moving to England's second tier and is stalling on a decision despite seeing their Motspur Park training ground twice.
