Fulham are in talks to sign Wisla Krakow striker Pawel Brozek - the Polish League's player of the season. The 26-year-old had also been monitored by West Ham United, as well as Russian clubs Rubin Kazan and Lokomotiv Moscow. But Wisla have confirmed Roy Hodgson's team have made their move and the Poland international is keen on a move to England. 'If I were to leave, it would be now. The English Premier League is the best league in the world and I would love to play in it,' he said. Brozek, who has been the top goalscorer in Poland for the last two seasons, had a trial with West Ham in 2004 but was recalled when Wisla changed their managed. He has scored 90 goals in 197 appearances for Wisla and reports put his price-tag at about £3.5million. A spokesman for the Polish club said: 'Fulham are currently inspecting Pawel in Austria. They have already started to hold talks with him and his agent.'
