- John set for Fulham exit
Fulham striker Collins John looks to be on his way out of Craven Cottage after the club accepted a bid from an unnamed Premiership side for the striker.
John, 21, has been used sparingly by Cottagers boss Chris Coleman this season and had been linked with a transfer window move to Watford.
Following the capture of former Italy striker Vincenzo Montella, Coleman has decided to accept a bid believed to be around the £2million mark for the former Holland Under-21 international.
John, who arrived in west London in 2004, made 18 appearances this season and scored just one goal in the 3-1 defeat at Manchester City in November.
Watford are on the look-out for a new striker as they attempt to counter the loss of the injured Marlon King and pull away from the foot of the Premiership table.
Meanwhile, Montella has agreed a six-month loan switch to Fulham where he will compete with Brian McBride and Heidar Helguson for a starting berth.
