Fulham are close to finding Felix Magath's successor, according to Danny Murphy.

The former Cottagers captain is among a five-man committee - put together by owner Shahid Khan - leading the search for a new boss.

Caretaker manager Kit Symons is in pole position for the post, while Billy McKinlay, Chris Hughton and Gianfranco Zola are other names in the frame.

Murphy told talkSPORT: "We are getting much closer.

"We have been working quite hard, having a couple of meetings, and for any fans out there listening, we are nearly there."
