Fulham and Crystal Palace are weighing up January moves for Ivan Nasberg, according to The Sun.
Nasberg currently plays for Valerenga in his home country, Norway.
And it is claimed that his club are thought to be ready to accept £1 million – a fee that should be easily affordable for Premier League clubs such as Fulham and Crystal Palace.
Nasberg has helped his club go unbeaten in their last five matches, conceding twice in that time, and is being tipped to win his first international call-up.
Fulham already employ one Norwegian international in Stefan Johansen, although the midfielder was omitted from Scott Parker’s 25-man squad.
But Crystal Palace sold theirs, Alexander Sorloth, in the summer transfer window.
The Palace and former Fulham manager Roy Hodgson boasts a strong knowledge of Scandinavian football, having worked in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Both Fulham and Crystal Palace have conceded at a rate of at least 1.5 goals per Premier League game (almost 2, in the Cottagers’ case) this season.
And the pair could be in the market to strengthen their defensive options in the coming transfer window.
