Charlton Athletic are considering a bid for Fulham defender Jack Grimmer, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Grimmer is in the final year of his contract at Fulham and Charlton are hoping to persuade their London rivals to cash-in on the versatile defender.
The 22-year-old joined Fulham from Aberdeen in 2012, but he has struggled to hold down a regular place in the side at Craven Cottage.
Grimmer, who can play at right-back and centre-back, had to wait until November 2014 to make his Fulham debut and he has made 18 appearances for the club.
