Fulham are on the verge of signing Leyton Orient defender Gabriel Zakuani, according to the League Two side.

The two clubs have been in talks over the 20-year-old Democratic Republic of Congo international for the past month.

However, the O's have revealed that they are close to agreeing a fee with Fulham - and expect the deal to be completed on Monday.

The fee is reportedly set to exceed the club record £600,000 that Orient were paid for John Chiedozie in 1981.

Zakuani has scored three goals in close to 100 appearances for the Brisbane Road outfit.
