Goalkeeper could be ready to join an English club in January

Espanyol goalkeeper Carlos Kameni is set to leave the Spanish club during the January transfer window and would accept an offer from an English club. Kameni has dropped down in the pecking order at the Catalan side under coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has made it clear terms that he will choose his players, regardless of reputation. "I have three goalkeepers and I will choose the best from a sporting perspective," he stated. The Cameroon international, who has not started a single Primera Liga match for Espanyol this season, is not happy at his situation and wants to leave in January. Premier League sides Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in the 27-year-old, and, according to sources, "if any English club make an offer, then he would accept it without any problem". Kameni joined Espanyol from Le Havre in 2004 and has made more than 200 appearances for the Barcelona outfit. His current contract with Periquitos lasts until June 2013.
