FULHAM are set to enter the race for Oleksandr Zinchenko - who could be available for just £10million this summer.
The defender is in the sights of several clubs having fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal.

The Ukrainian international, signed for £32m in 2022, is now thought to be surplus to requirements by Mikel Arteta and could be sold before the start of the Premier League season.
And that has put Fulham on red alert, with the Cottagers attracted to the ex-Manchester City star's experience and versatility.
Marco Silva is keen to push ahead with a deal and although the Gunners value the player at £12.7m, the West London club think they could land him for around £10m.
Fulham think they could deploy him in defence or midfield as they look to build on their impressive performance last season.
A source told SunSport: 'Zinchenko is a major target for Fulham. He looks almost certain to leave the Emirates this summer and there will be no shortage of takers.'
A host of clubs are reportedly interested in the 28-year-old, with AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax all keen.
Reports last week indicated that Zinchenko, who is estimated to earn around £4.26m a year, could be willing to agree to move for around £3m.
Sources say that staying in London would appeal to Zinchenko, who is thought to be settled in the capital.

He's been left frustrated by his lack of first-team action and is believed to welcome the idea of a move this summer.
Inter Milan were heavily linked with a move for Zinchenko in January but the move failed to materialise.

We are interested in getting Cardiff – Gareth Bale confirms takeover talk
Bale, who is Wales' all-time leading goalscorer, described the prospect of linking up with his hometown club as 'a dream come true'. The group involving Bale reportedly made an initial enquiry earlier this month, which was rejected by Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan. Gareth Bale is Wales' all-time record scorer (Joe Giddens/PA) Speaking on the red carpet at the premiere for F1: The Movie, Bale told Sky Sports: 'We are interested in getting Cardiff. It's my home (town) club, it's where I grew up and my uncle used to play for them. 'To be involved with an ownership group would be a dream come true.' Bale had been linked with Cardiff after leaving Real Madrid in 2022 but decided to end his career with Los Angeles FC. He was recently linked with a group that failed in a reported bid to take over Plymouth, who like Cardiff were relegated from the Championship last season. Bale added: 'It (Cardiff) is a club close to my heart. It's where I grew up and I would love to be able to be a part of growing Cardiff and taking it to the Premier League where it belongs. 'I know how amazing the Welsh fans and Cardiff fans are. It would be amazing to try and do something together. 'We are trying to engage with Cardiff and more news will come out on that in the future but hopefully we can get something done.'

Russo off to Villa! Alessia's brother Giorgio is Love Island bombshell
Giorgio Russo has joined the ITV2 reality show, based in a Majorcan villa, as one of four new 'bombshells'. Alessia has begun preparations for the European Championship, with England taking on France in their first game on July 5, but Giorgio may not be able to see his sister in action as he begins his journey on the TV show. A post shared by G I O 🤙🏼 (@giorgiorusso__) The Lionesses have gathered at St George's Park for their Euros camp and most of them found out the news on Monday morning. Le Tissier admitted she does not watch the show but will tune in to see Alessia's brother. She said: 'That's the only question I've been asked so far! I walked into SGP (St George's Park) this morning and Alessia just went like that (showed the phone about her brother heading into the villa). 'I was so shocked. I was so buzzing for Giorgio. He's such a lovely guy and such a great family, so hopefully he does well out there and he enjoys himself. 'It's cool. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to watch it now.' Giorgio was over in Portugal to cheer his sister on in the Champions League final as Arsenal beat Barcelona to lift the trophy but will not be present to do the same in Switzerland if he lasts long enough on the show. Alessia's Arsenal team-mate Beth Mead said all the players will be sitting together to watch the show. Mead told Sky Sports: 'I was excited for him. I love Giorgio, he's a good boy and I'm looking forward to seeing what he gets up to in the villa. 'We're all going to sit together tonight and watch the 'bombshell' bombshell, so excited for that one.' Another Lionesses team-mate, Grace Clinton, joked about Giorgio missing the Euros. She said: 'I will be watching, I will definitely be watching that. 'We're going to have it on in the meeting room tonight. I'm only joking. No, it's exciting, it's funny. 'I think Alessia finds it funny. He clearly won't be coming to Switzerland I take it?'
