Fulham are maintaining their pursuit of Stoke City defender Robert Huth.
The Daily Mail says Fulham hope to convince Huth of joining them on loan from Stoke City when he returns from the Premier League club's break in Dubai.
The German remains keen on a Premier League move but Stoke like the idea of having a 24-hour recall on him if he goes to the Championship.
Watford and Reading have also made enquiries for the Berlin-born centre-back, who has been linked with West Bromwich Albion, but former boss Tony Pulis is reluctant to deal with his old club Stoke.
