Unlike Burnley, Fulham have yet to be credited with interest in the Swansea City centre-back.

Fulham have suddenly emerged as second favourites – behind Burnley – to sign Swansea City’s Alfie Mawson, with one bookmaker.

Sky Bet were offering odds of 8/1 for Mawson to join Fulham on Tuesday, but have since cut the Cottagers to 11/10.

And while Burnley – who unlike Fulham have been credited with interest in the £20-million-rated centre-back – continue to lead the betting, the Clarets are now only 7/4 to land the Londoner having been 2/5 yesterday.

Fulham have seen Tomas Kalas return to Chelsea since the end of last season, creating a void in Mawson’s position.

And it is plausible the 24-year-old – who began his career at nearby Brentford – could be the next marquee signing to arrive at Craven Cottage, with Andre Schurrle incoming and Jean Michael Seri already on the books.

Mawson impressed despite Swansea’s relegation last season and is 1/12 to leave the Liberty Stadium before 3 September.

Could Mawson head to Fulham over Burnley?
