Fulham confirm Barnes bid

Share
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson has confirmed that they are the mystery club in talks to sign Derby youngster Giles Barnes.

Derby revealed earlier in the day that they had received a proposal from an unnamed Premier League outfit with a view to taking the midfielder on loan for the remainder of the season.

Fulham were heavily tipped to be the club in question as they look to find a replacement for the departed Jimmy Bullard, and boss Roy Hodgson has now confirmed that they are in negotiations for the temporary signing of Barnes.

"We're talking to Giles Barnes about a loan move," said Hodgson.

Dane departs
Meanwhile, Fulham defender Leon Andreasen has joined Bundesliga side Hannover after struggling to hold down first-team football in the capital.

"Leon Andreasen wants to go back to the Bundesliga for family reasons and we've had a good offer from Hannover," Hodgson added.

"Letting him go is the right thing to do but it leaves a gap in the squad."

The Dane moves on just over a year after joining the club from Werder Bremen.
