Fulham are believed to be close to agreeing a deal for Poland international striker Robert Lewandowski with his Polish club Lech Poznan.

Roy Hodgson is thought to be lining up a loan switch for the young frontman as he looks to bolster his attacking options.

Fulham are exploring the idea of signing the 21-year-old on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.

Lewandowski is currently the top scorer in Poland's domestic league and he has attracted interest from the likes of Birmingham, Borussia Dortmund and Shakhtar Donetsk in the past.

The player's agent, Cezary Kucharski, is expecting Fulham to firm up their interest by tabling an offer when the transfer window officially opens next month.

"It's true, there is interest on the part of the club. We are expecting a concrete offer soon,"

Kucharski is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail. Fulham are thought to be in the market for striking reinforcements to provide cover for Bobby Zamora with Andy Johnson struggling with injury.
