Fulham turn to FC Nordsjaelland defender Jores Okore

FC Nordsjaelland defender Jores Okore is a target for Fulham.

The People says the 20-year-old was being tracked by Chelsea and Manchester United, but seems to have been swayed by Fulham boss Martin Jol's promise of immediate first-team football at Craven Cottage.

The Ivory Coast-born defender played against the Blues in the Champions League this season and the European champions were keen to take him to Stamford Bridge.

But Jol, who is desperate to sign a centre-back and a central midfielder before the transfer window shuts on Thursday, has told Okore he will go straight into the starting line-up if he signs.
