Fulham are set to open negotiations with French defender Maxime Poundje, according to reports.

The left-back, who plays for French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux is said to be attracting interest from the West London side, as well as a number of other Championship clubs.

The 24-year-old is a team-mate of forward Diego Rolan, who is reported to be in negotiations with Slavisa Jokanovic's men.

Rolan met with the French club's hierarchy earlier this week and has reportedly expressed his desire to speak to the Whites ahead of a move to England.

The striker, who scored nine goals last season, only has one more year on his current deal at Bordeaux, so a fee will be involved and Fulham have money to spend as they bid to return to the Premier League after missing out on promotion in the play-offs last term.
