"I can confirm that contact has been made between Fulham and my
agent regarding a move for next season." said the French-born midfielder.
"But for the moment, it is only contact, nothing more."
Dabo claims he has always been attracted to English football, and especially
Fulham since they acquired Frenchman Jean Tigana as coach.
"Fulham would be an ideal club with Jean Tigana in charge and lots
of French players in the team," added Dabo.
The combative midfielder is a target for Fulham and could be released
by Italian outfit Atalanta.
Fulham are desperate to beef up their squad for next season to avoid
a repeat of the relegation battle in the previous campaign.
And with the Intertoto Cup on their hands too, the Cottagers are seeking
quality as well as quantity.
"I know Steve Marlet who I shared a room with when I was with France
'A', but most of all Louis Saha, who I know from the French Under-21s."
Dabo left Rennes for Serie A giants Inter Milan along with his then team-mate
Mikael Silvestre in 1998.
They both failed to break into the first team and, while Silvestre left
for Manchester United, Dabo was farmed out on loan a number of times before
settling with Atalanta, where he played 21 games last season.
