Chris Coleman's Fulham are ready to beat Everton in the race to sign veteran French forward Youri Djorkaeff on a one-year deal it has been revealed.

The 36-year old is a free agent after rejecting the chance to stay with Bolton Wanderers and it has been suggested that Djorkaeff is now close to agreeing terms to move to Craven Cottage.

Agent Willie McKay had earlier claimed that his client was of interest to as much as four Premiership clubs but now it seems as if the player is to have his future resolved.
