Fulham 'to push ahead with bid for Spanish defender Marcelo Djalo'

Marcelo Djalo, who has spent his entire career to date in the lower divisions of Spanish football, is said to be close to agreeing a switch to Championship side Fulham.

Fulham are to sign Marcelo Djalo after reportedly agreeing personal terms with the Spanish defender, despite reservations from the coaching staff.

The 23-year-old is currently on the books of Spanish second-tier side Lugo, where he has spent the past 12 months following previous spells with Real Madrid and Juventus.

Fulham are said to have identified the centre-back via their statistical analysis team and will fly him in for a medical later this week.

According to Sky Sports News, however, certain members of the Cottagers' backroom staff believe that he will not be a worthwhile signing.

Djalo failed to make any first-team appearances for Madrid or Juve, instead spending his entire career to date in the lower divisions of Spanish football.
