Fulham look set to step up their attempts to sign Rangers striker Daniel Cousin, as Roy Hodgson attempts to bolster a struggling squad that appears to be heading towards relegation.
The 30-year-old Gabon international has been linked with a £2million switch to the Cottagers, although it is believed the Gers are holding out form more money.
Cousin's agent, Willie McKay, told the Daily Express: "Daniel wants to go and it's now up to the two clubs to decide if a fee can be agreed.
"Walter Smith wants to keep the player but he can leave anyway if a club bids £3million."
Cousin, who moved to Ibrox from Lens last summer, has scored nine goals in 26 league appearances so far this season.
He has admitted he would not be adverse to a transfer, saying: "I am pleased with things as they stand at the moment and I have no problems with staying at Rangers just now, none at all.
"I am very happy here but, if a better offer came in from somewhere, I would have to consider it. Any footballer would do that."
