Hodgson eyes bid for Clarets star Bikey

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is reportedly ready to offer Burnley outcast Andre Bikey a Premier League lifeline this summer. The Cottagers chief is keen to bolster his defensive options and has targeted 25-year-old Bikey, according to the Daily Star Sunday. The Cameroon hardman fell out of favour with Clarets gaffer Brian Laws towards the end of last season. And Hodgson is hoping a bid of £1million will tempt Burnley's hierarchy following their relegation to the Championship.
