Stockdale close to loan move
Fulham boss Martin Jol has revealed goalkeeper David Stockdale is close to finalising a season-long loan exit from the Cottagers.[LNB] Stockdale was a notable absentee from the squad for Thursday's Europa League qualifying win over Crusaders on Thursday night as he looks to sort out his future.[LNB]Swansea and Leeds have both expressed an interest in signing Stockdale with Ipswich the latest club to join the chase for the England squad member.[LNB]Premier League new boys Swansea have seen a bid rejected for Stockdale, while Leeds have lined up Stockdale as a replacement for Kasper Schmeichel.[LNB]Ipswich are believed to be favourites for Stockdale's signature, with Fulham preferring to loan him out to a Championship club so that they can include a recall clause in his deal.[LNB]Asked whether the Fulham number two was likely to head out on loan, Jol said: "Yes, he is close but of course there is a little issue with the recall.[LNB]"We can't recall him if he is playing in the Premier League. Maybe there is a bit of space [for manoeuvre] but I don't want to talk about it.[LNB]"[If we cannot insert a release clause], then we have to put him in the Championship. But there is a possibility he could go to the Premier League."
