Murphy close to new deal
Fulham captain Danny Murphy has confirmed he is close to agreeing a new contract to stay at Craven Cottage until 2011.
Murphy has scored 13 goals in 79 appearances since his move from Tottenham two years ago and started every Premier League game last season.
He has been linked with both Birmingham City and Stoke City over the summer, but is ready to commit his future to the Cottagers.
The 32-year-old has held talks with manager Roy Hodgson and is keen to finish his playing career with the Europa League qualifiers.
"It is a case of getting the paperwork done and finalising a few little details," said Murphy in the Evening Standard.
"The manager wants me and I want to spend the rest of my career here. There's no doubting that."

He added: "I get on great with the manager. The team is moving forward.
"The club is moving forward. We're looking towards another productive season.
"I'm the captain. What more do I want? I'm just completely content."
