Fulham in double bid for West Ham duo Morrison and Diame?


Fulham are rumoured to have tabled a double bid for West Ham United's midfield duo Mohamed Diame and Ravel Morrison. Diame has long been linked with a move away from Upton Park whilst Morrison has already attracted plenty of interest from other Premier League sides.

According to reports, Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen wants to sign the Hammers duo in preparation for the second half of the Premier League season. Meulenseen is a huge fan of Ravel Morrison and worked with the youngster during his time as Sir Alex Ferguson's backroom staff at Man Utd, whilst Diame has previously been linked with a move away from West Ham several times. Arsenal and Liverpool have both expressed an interest in the defensive midfielder.


Diame has played in the Premier League since 2009 when he made a move from Rayo Vallecano to Wigan and then later West Ham, whilst Morrison has forced his way into the Hammers' first team this year after an exceptional loan spell at Championship side Birmingham City.


It is understood that Fulham have made an enquiry for both players and are prepared to pay a massive £13.5 million to secure the deal. The Hammers value Morrison alone at more than £10 million.
