Key Fulham defender Brede Hangeland has again poured cold water on continuing rumours linking him with a move away from Craven Cottage.

The 27-year-old Norway international centre-half has been in outstanding form for Roy Hodgson's side this season, sparking talk of interest from a number of bigger clubs.

However, Hangeland told Nettavisen: "I have never heard anything concrete.

"I have been asked about the speculation many times in the past, but it is not worth thinking about something that may not be real.

"Besides, it is better to be an important part of a slightly smaller club than to become lost at a big club.

"Of course everyone wants to win trophies. If a big club wanted me to join as one of their three centre-backs, I would consider it, as and when they approached me.

"We have a chance of getting into the UEFA Cup, but we are not talking about that within the club.

"European football is just not something that is associated with Fulham. I think most of us will just be happy to stay in the top half."
