Fulham have failed with an attempt to re-sign Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer on-loan.
The Daily Mail says the Australian arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2013 as reserve keeper, but has only made four appearances for the Blues and remains third in line behind Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech.
The Cottagers have enquired about taking the 42-year-old on an emergency loan until the end of the season but Jose Mourinho has rejected the bid.
