Fulham set to complete shock Diarra swoop
FULHAM manager Martin Jol is poised to complete a surprise swoop for former Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra who has agreed a contract with the west London club until the end of the season.
The combative 30-year-old, who cost the Spanish giants £22m when he signed from Lyon in 2006, will join the mid-table Premier League side subject to his successful visa application.
Diarra has been without a club since he left Monaco following their relegation from France’s top division at the end of last season.
