Swiss set to sign?

Hertha Berlin General Manager Dieter Hoeneß has admitted he fears Fulham have beaten them to the signature of Bolton`s Blerim Dzemaili.

Hoeneß confirmed negotiations had been underway with the Swiss midfielder as Hertha look to replace the Spurs bound Brazilian Gilberto.

‘I telephoned his adviser several times’ confirmed Hoeneß.

However, Fulham are believed to be offering the 21 year old former FC Zurich youngster the chance to stay in the Premiership.

‘My hopes for signing Dzemaili are only five percent’ declared Coach Lucien Favre.
