Rafik Halliche free to leave Fulham

Rafik Halliche will be allowed to leave Fulham this month, with a move for Germany reported. Bundesliga sides Koln and Schalke are both keen on the player.

Rafik Halliche spent time on loan at Celtic last year, but was unable to secure a deal with the Cottagers.

“I've got five centre-backs - he's a good player but I haven't used him," said Fulham coach Martin Jol.

“He told me at the start of the season [he needs to play], and it's the same story now.

“There's a few options so we'll have to wait and see what happens.”
