Fulham are looking to strengthen their defence ahead of next season with the capture of Reims defender Julian Jeanvier but face stiff competition from Huddersfield.
The recently promoted Premier League side look to be leading the race for the 25-year-old's signature who only joined Reims last summer, but Fulham are hopeful of adding him to their squad as they look to follow in Huddersfield's footsteps and gain promotion this time around.
Slavisa Jokanovic's side have enquired about the player's availability with Jeanvier thought to relish the opportunity at playing in a higher division than the French second tier, a division he was voted best defender in.
Jeanvier has one year left on his current deal at the French club and cost them £425k last summer when he signed from Lille and can play at either centre or left back.
Jeanvier has had loan spells at Mouscron and Red Star
