Fulham want Hoyte

Fulham are considering a January transfer move for Arsenal's out of favour young English defender Justin Hoyte. Aston Villa have also been linked with a move.

Hoyte has played very little this season for Arsenal and Wenger may allow Hoyte to leave on loan.

Martin O'Neill is also known to be an admirer of Hoyte however, and Wenger could use him as a makeweight in the deal for Gabriel Agbonlahor, if he decides to move for the striker.

Hoyte has always said he is happy to "wait in the shadows" at Arsenal, but the interest of Fulham and six months Premiership experience is likely to appeal.
