Fulham have reportedly joined the hunt to sign attacking midfielder Roland Sallai from Cypriot club APOEL Nicosia.

According to the Sun, the Cottagers are now targeting the 21-year-old and are set to watch him in Europa League action this week.

It is reported that APOEL have already rejected a £3.5million bid from Bundesliga side Freiburg for Sallai and the in-demand ace has made an impressive start to the season in Europe.

The Hungary internatonal scored a long-range goal in a clash with Flora Tallinn and is a versatile midfielder that can play centrally or as a winger.

Sallai made 36 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring nine goals and supplying five assists in return.

Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic is reportedly still keen to bolster his attacking options, despite signing German Andre Schurrle this summer.

The Premier League new boys are preparing for their return to the top flight and are looking to add some real quality at Craven Cottage.

Sallai has been a star performer in the Cypriot league in the past 12 months and has featured in the Champions League group stages, including in games against Tottenham, but a switch to England would be a huge step up in class.
