Fulham are closing in on the signature of former Zenit St. Petersburg winger Yohan Mollo. 

The 28-year-old was freed from his contract at Russian giants Zenit earlier this week, but is not set to be without a club for long with a move to the English Championship on the cards.




According to French sports daily L'Equipe, Mollo is closing in on a switch to Craven Cottage.

French Ligue 1 side Nantes have also been chasing Mollo's signature, but look to have been beaten by Fulham.

 


The French winger would not have to rush to sign for Fulham today though as he is a free agent, which means he is able to move outside the transfer window system.

Mollo slipped out of favour at Zenit and then fell out with fans, something which meant a contract termination was quickly on the cards.

A product of Monaco's youth set-up, Mollo has also played in Spain, through a spell with Granada.
