Fulham, Bristol City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are all being credited with interest in Grabban.

Fulham are leading the chase for Lewis Grabban, according to the Daily Mirror (live blog entry 09:18). The Sun reports (page 50 of Tuesday’s printed edition) that the Bournemouth striker is a £7 million target for the Cottagers, Bristol City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

And, according to the Daily Mirror, Fulham believe they can get Grabban for that price.

Grabban was recalled by Bournemouth last week following a productive spell on loan to Sunderland, in which he scored 12 goals in 19 Championship outings.

And the Daily Mirror reports that the Cherries are hopeful of sealing a permanent deal for the 29-year-old.

Fulham are mounting another late push for the Championship play-offs, and currently sit four points and as many places outside the top six.

The Cottagers, however, are still eight points behind fourth-placed Bristol City and 21 behind runaway leaders Wolves.

But a return to London with Fulham could appeal to Croydon-born Grabban, who began his career at Crystal Palace and also played for Millwall and Brentford before spells at Rotherham United, Bournemouth and Norwich City.

The Premier League side paid £7 million to re-sign the player two years ago.

Given the chance, should Grabban choose Fulham over Bristol City and Wolves?
