Fulham Enter Race To Sign West Ham, Palace, Newcastle, West Brom Target Eze; QPR Boss Reacts

The online edition of Sky Sports UK had reported that The Cottagers have lined up the Nigerian as their potential signing as they prepare for life in the topflight though they face competition from a number of interested suitors.

Eze was conspicuously missing from the Hoops pre-season friendly game against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday, reigniting speculations over his future as Premier League interest in the forward continue to intensify.

Speaking after the exhibition game this evening, Rangers manager Mark Warburton reiterated that the club will only be willing to part with the player if any interested club meets his valuation.

"He's a QPR player but there are a few bits and pieces going on. What we have to do is just respect that and look after a guy who has come through the ranks here, and he's one of ours," Warburton said.

"We look after all of our players. It was the right decision [not to play him] today and we'll see what happens in the coming days."
