Mark Bresciano

Mark is leaving all transfer business down to his agent amid speculation that Fulham have opened talks with a view to signing the Palermo midfielder.

The Australia international is focused on upcoming clashes with Iraq, Qatar and China but endured a torrid season in Serie A after a switch to Manchester City unexpectedly collapsed last year.

Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is keen to strengthen his squad after the relegation near-miss last term and the West Londoners appear to be competing with other Premier League sides, such as West Ham and possibly City in the near future, for Bresciano's signature.

"Mentally, I wasn't there for five or six months," he said of Palermo. "It's hard to do.

"Hopefully, I've got all my bad luck out of the way.

"I don't know where [I'm going] at the moment. I've told my agent not to bother me unless it's something certain.

"But I'd still be interested in England," he told Goldcoast.com. "I've always wanted to test myself in The Premier League."
