Fulham have joined Wolves in the pursuit of Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack.
According to the Daily Mail, Fulham have joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in the race to sign Aston Villa attacker Ross McCormack.
McCormack, 30, joined Villa from Fulham in a £12million deal (BBC Sport) over the summer, having hit 42 goals in 100 games for Fulham.

The Scot was seen as a huge signing for Villa given his proven record of goalscoring in the Championship, but he’s hit just three goals and one assist in 20 appearances for Villa.
McCormack has been a bit-part player under new Villa boss Steve Bruce, and reports have linked him with a move away from Villa Park.

The Daily Mail claim that, whilst Wolves have made a move for McCormack by asking about a loan deal – and his former club Fulham have followed suit.
Wolves manager Paul Lambert will be keen to add goals to his Wolves side, and his fellow Scot McCormack would be a smart target, whilst Fulham have question marks over the future of Derby loanee Chris Martin, and would no doubt love to have McCormack back at Craven Cottage.
However, it’s stated that both approaches are likely to fail, with Villa reluctant to let McCormack go out on loan having paid so much money for him over the summer.
With Rudy Gestede sold to Middlesbrough and both Jordan Ayew and Jonathan Kodjia heading to the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana and Ivory Coast respectively, McCormack is needed at Villa Park, and could receive more playing time over the next month.
