Fulham go for Farnerud

last updated Sunday 12th August 2001, 5:13 PM
FULHAM have entered the race for Landskrona`s highly-coveted forward Alexander Farnerud.

Manchester United had the player at Old Trafford for a second trial earlier in the summer, but Fulham have now made contact for a player also tracked by Feyenoord and Ajax.

The 17-year-old is seen as one of the brightest young talents in Sweden, and Cottagers boss Jean Tigana has been alerted to his precocious ability.

Speaking to Proffs, Farnerud said: "Yes, I have received a letter from Fulham manager Jean Tigana, and they want me to come over to the club."

The youngster, though, seems unconcerned by all the hype, adding: "As I have stated before, it's BoIS that matter, at least for the remainder of the season."

Tigana is connected with the Farnerud family, as he took the player`s elder brother Pontus to Monaco during his time in the Principality, so he may have an advantage in the race to sign the youngster.
