Fulham close in on Bakary Sako signature

Fulham are the latest club to express an interest in Wolves' winger Bakary Sako, with reports that Martin Jol has already made an offer to Wolves for the club's player of the season in 2013.

Sako has told reporters that he is now ready to leave the club as he pursues a career in the Premier League. Everton are also interested in the player.


"When I joined Wolves, the club said to me the aim was to reach the Premier League together," said Sako. "I am sad that has not happened but I gave everything and have always been respectful to the club.


"At that first meeting, I sat with [the former Wolves manager] Stale Solbakken and Jez Moxey and they told me if we didn't get promoted, the club would let me go.


"I was told I could speak to Fulham and now I don't understand the delay. I would like things to be sorted out.


"I am only being ambitious. I believe the fans will understand that. In the difficult moments we had last season, they were very good to me and I hope they saw someone who gave everything back to them.


"I will never speak badly of the supporters."
