ABDESLAM OUADDOU has confirmed he has held talks with Fulham, but late interest from Werder Bremen and Kaiserslautern may threaten his proposed move from Nancy.

The 22-year-old centre back was in London this week to discuss a switch to Craven Cottage, and it was expected that he would finalise the transfer swiftly.

However, there is a lot of interest in the player, and Jean Tigana faces an anxious wait over Ouaddou's final decision on his future.

"With Fulham, things are always at the same point," said the 22-year-old. "I do not know if I will sign over there.

"Of course, the financial aspect is significant and it is interesting in Fulham.

"But there is not only that. It is also necessary to take into account the sporting aspect.

"For the moment, we did not find an area of agreement.

"I think that, if it is necessary to have an additional season with Nancy, why not?"

ASNL, however, seem reliant on the big-money move, which could net them £4 million, and Fulham remain favourites to sign a player their official website has dubbed 'the French Rio Ferdinand', but there remains the threat that another of the interested parties, either from Germany or elsewhere, could make a late bid after the deal was not wrapped up.
