Fulham ask about Victor Sikora

Fulham have made an enquiry for Vitesse Arnhem's Dutch international striker Victor Sikora, but seem unlikely to beat Ajax to the player's signature.

Jean Tigana is always on the lookout for players to bolster his squad and Sikora is just the latest to come to the Frenchman's attention.

Fulham  enquiry about Dutch international striker Victor SikoraSikora is available to leave debt-ridden Vitesse, but they are still demanding a reasonable price for their prized asset.

Dutch champions Ajax have been courting the player for some time and manager Ronald Koeman is determined to add him to his squad before the start of the new Eredivisie season.

"The player is very much wanted by Ajax and they want him to be there for pre-season training, but they are yet to pay the price we want and so he is still not their player," Vitesse's technical director Jan Streur stated.

"Obviously this does give the opportunity to other clubs, although I cannot specifically talk about Fulham.

"We know there is other interest in Victor, as he is a very good player. He would suit the English game as he very quick and strong and would have no problems over there.

"But as I said I cannot confirm anything about Fulham. We are still talking with Ajax and their manager Ronald Koeman only spoke to me this week about him, but still nothing has been agreed."

Sikora, who operates either wide right or behind a main striker, has been with Vitesse for three seasons and, after a number of dazzling displays, is one of the most wanted players in Holland.

Although there is other clubs interested including Fulham, Ajax remain in pole-position to land him.
