Real Madrid star Theo Hernandez wanted by Fulham in shock season-long loan deal

FULHAM are plotting a loan move for Real Madrid defender Theo Hernandez.
The Cottagers have offered the La Liga giants £1.75million to take the left-back to West London.
The Premier League new boys faced competition for the 20-year-old from Real Sociedad but looked to have moved ahead of the Basque side by offering to pay his wages in full.
Sociedad can’t afford his wages, believed to be around £40,000-a-wee-week, and want Madrid to pay half of his salary.
Marseille-born Hernandez moved across town from Atletico Madrid on a six-year deal last year.
Hernandez made 23 appearances for Los Blancos under former boss Zinedine Zidane.
And after featuring the International Champions Cup defeat to Manchester United, new coach Julen Lopetegui deems the youngster as surplus to requirements.

If the deal does not go through, Fulham have lined up Eintracht Frankfurt defender Jetro Willems as an alternative.
Willems, 24, moved to Germany from PSV Eindhoven for £6m last year and made 28 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.
And it is also being reported that he has made an enquiry about Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet.
The Cottagers have already signed Jean Michael-Seri, Maxime Le Marchand and Fabri.
They added Andre Schurrle on a two-year loan deal and this week have bagged Alfie Mawson from Swansea alongside Aleksandar Mitrovic from Newcastle.
