Jermaine Beckford is one of three players being sought by Fulham on transfer deadline day, according to Sky sources.

The others are Leeds striker Matt Smith and defender Mark Hudson of Cardiff City.

But the standout name is that of 30-year-old London-born Jamaican Beckford, who has been at fellow Championship club Bolton for just over a year.

The much-travelled Beckford has also played for Huddersfield, Leicester, Everton, Scunthorpe, Carlisle and Leeds.

The Cottagers, who like Bolton are yet to win a league game this season, are reportedly hoping to off-load strikers Bryan Ruiz and Hugo Rodallega.

Costa Rican Ruiz joined Fulham in 2011 but spent the final months of last season with PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

Colombian Rodallega has been in west London for two years, having joined from Wigan.
