Cousin set to discover fate

Fulham will find out next week if they will be given permission to sign Daniel Cousin from Rangers.
The two clubs had agreed a £3million fee for the Gabon forward last week, but the move was believed to have fallen through after FIFA refused to sanction the transfer.
The 30-year-old only joined Rangers in the summer from Lens and appeared to have fallen foul of the rule which permits a player to turn out for no more than two sides during one season.
Cousin had played 20 minutes as a substitute for Lens before signing for the Gers in August.
However, FIFA has revealed it has yet to make a formal ruling on the matter, but will do so at a meeting next week.
"The outcome is still pending because the legal department have asked to see more documentation, especially from Fulham," said a spokesperson for the game's ruling body.
"They need more time to analyse everything and I don't think we will announce a verdict before Monday now."
