The World Cup is where reputations can be enhanced, made or harmed.
Every four years players emerge who you`d not normally associate your team being interested in.
According to the gossip columns, Fulham are tracking one such player, the Ivory Coast midfielder,Cheik Ismael Tioti.
Tioti was part of the title winning FC Twente side and at twenty-four years of age is approaching his prime.
The gossip columns suggest that Roy Hodgson has been watching him develop over the past twelve months and that a bid, in the region of, £4 million could see a move materialise.
As usual though, there is a named rival for his signature – Birmingham City.
We`ll keep a watch in case anything happens on this one!
