JOHN Arne Riise is poised to quit Fulham before the end of the transfer window.

The Norwegian defender has been told he can leave Craven Cottage on a free transfer.

Riise has shared the left-back berth with Kieran Richardson during pre-season, but expects to depart SW6 in the next few weeks.

"Yes, it looks like I will be parting company with Fulham this summer," said the former Liverpool star.

"Fortunately there is an agreement for there to be no transfer fee, so let's see what the rest of the transfer window brings."
