Fulham are set to beat Portsmouth to the £3million signing of Brazilian defender Felipe Lopes. Both Barclays Premier League clubs have been tracking the left-back, who plays for Portuguese side CD Nacional, but Roy Hodgson's team are reportedly the first to make a bid. The former Anderlecht defender impressed during Nacional's impressive fourth-place finish in the Portuguese League, which secured a place in next season's Europa League. The 21-year-old has two more years on his current deal but the Madeira-based club are open to doing a deal.
