Fulham boss Roy Hodgson wants to add a new defender to his squad before the summer market shuts.

The Times says Fulham are considering a move for Philippe Senderos, the Arsenal defender who was the subject of a £6 million offer from Everton this summer.

I’d say the chances of Philippe Senderos still being at the club next month are slim with Everton and now Fulham the main contenders for the Swiss International’s signature. I would like to wish him good luck wherever he goes because he did always give 100% but even that couldn’t paper over his defensive flaws, of which there were many.

That isn’t to say he can’t still carve out a career in the Premier League and a move to either Goodison Park or Craven Cottage could well suit the giant slap head, and to be fair to Senderos he has improved immeasurably since he first joined.
