Fulham launch bid for Bordeaux full-back Youssouf Sabaly

L’Équipe report that Premier League strugglers Fulham have lodged a formal bid to Bordeaux to sign 25-year-old right-back Youssouf Sabaly.

It would appear that Les Girondins rejected the opening offer, but talks are ongoing – Fulham are seeking to accelerate talks as quickly as possible for the Senegalese international, who nearly joined Napoli this summer.
