Fenerbahce have joined the battle for Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Takvim says Fener coach Christoph Daum is chasing Van Nistelrooy for the winter market in January.

The former Manchester United forward has already declared he is ready to leave Real to find regular first team football. Van Nistelrooy wants to put himself in the shop window for Holland coach Bert van Marwijk ahead of the World Cup.

Fener are in the market for a new striker as Dani Guiza prepares to quit Istanbul for a return home to Spain.
