Fulham manager Mark Hughes closes in on PSV Eindhoven's Carlos Salcido

But Hughes says their pursuit of Salcido does not automatically mean Fulham's current left-back Paul Konchesky will be on the move. "We have made enquiries," Hughes said after watching Fulham beat Port Vale 6-0 in the second round of the Carling Cup.  Related ArticlesFulham 6 Port Vale 0Fulham sign defender HallicheFulham 2 Manchester United 2A striker for all seasonsFerguson still the benchmark for Mark HughesAlmunia to seek talks if Schwarzer signs"He is a player I am interested in and we are hopeful it might be concluded." Reports last night stated that Fulham had agreed a fee with PSV for the 30-year-old, who played at this summer's World Cup. Konchesky has been linked with a move to Liverpool, where he would link up again with former Fulham manager Roy Hodgson. But Hughes said: "We are looking to have quality in all positions. Left-back is a position we are a little light in. "It is not a foregone conclusion that Paul Konchesky goes because we are looking to bring someone else in." Fulham also have a new left-back star in the making after 19-year-old Matthew Briggs made an eye-catching full debut for the club against Vale. Zoltan Gera and Bobby Zamora scored twice and there were goals for new £5 million striker Mousse Dembele and Clint Dempsey.
